These bruises are a kind of drug rash that can occur in patients allergic to any drug. In your case it seems to be a case of reaction to penicillin. These spots are permanent and dont disappear with time. They have a tendency to occur at other body parts if you take penicillin in future. Although these spots can lighten with application of clobetasol cream.
