What Causes Dark Purplish Discoloration On Back?

Hi. My grandfather developed dark purplish discoloration on the back of his has this past year, and does not seem to fade. He is in a nursing home. The nurses are unsure if any of his medications are causing this reaction. We are sure it is not a bruise. Would you know of any prescription drugs that can cause this reaction?
