Flat, Brown Marks On Back And Chest. Normal Blood Platelets. Any Ideas?

My 16 year old nephew woke up with flat brown arc shape marks on his back & chest. It looks like tire tracks. The marks are flat and do not hurt, burn or bother him at all. he has had it for three days. I took him to the Dr. Today and they checked his blood platelets. That was normal. Any ideas?
