Brief Answer:
Ecchymotic patches, go for lab tests

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your complaints .
According to your complaints it seems to be ecchymotic patches.
They occur due to bleeding in the skin.
You need to rule out any bleeding disorder in your wife.
I would recommend you to get her complete blood count, bleeding time, clotting time and coagulation studies.
If these are normal there is nothing to worry about as they can occur without any cause in some individuals.
As far as home remedy is concerned give her diet rich in vitamin C like lemon, citrus foods and goose berries.
I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
