Detailed Answer:
Hi
Your son seems to be developing spontaneous bruises .
Now some people are genetically predisposed to recurrent development of such lesions over the body .
But if suddenly a person starts developing such recurrent lesions over the body ,then it is necessary to get s complete blood count done and look for the probable cause.
So I would advise you to see a nearby doctor and get the necessary investigations done so as to rule out ant major blood abnormalities .

Ok. He did have a CBC, metabolic panel, SED rate, test for liver function, and thyroid the day before the spots showed up. Today is the fourth day they reappeared. I called Doctor's office for results and was told everything came back normal. She sent notes to the doctor and told me he would get back with me next week. Thank you for answering.

In the meantime, he should increase intake of citrus fruits .
