Brief Answer:
Ecchymotic patches, go for laboratory tests

Detailed Answer:
According to your complaints it seems to be ecchymotic patches which usually occur due to bleeding in the skin.
I would recommend you to get these laboratory tests: complete blood count, coagulation profile, bleeding time and clotting time.
If these come normal there is no need to worry.
