Hi..

purplish round bruise with the white Centre is indicative of erythema multiforme lesion. since we do not know your proper history like your age duration of illness we are unable to reach over the exact cause of it nevertheless it is mainly due to herpes infection and drug reaction. if you are on any medication then it can be due to fixed drug eruption.
