Brief Answer:
Ecchymotic patches, go for certain lab tests
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed the attached photographs and these seem to be ecchymotic patches which are an age-related change in many individuals.
Still, I would recommend you to get his platelet count, bleeding time, clotting time and coagulation studies to rule out any bleeding disorder as sometimes these spots are seen in bleeding disorders.
If his tests come out to be normal then no need to worry and nothing needs to be done.
