Hi,
Transient small purple bruises can appear from prolonged pressure over the part or particular posture adaptation, which usually self-limits.
If persistent over a period of time, underlying hematologic disturbances of platelets or else should be evaluated via expert hematologist via blood work panel.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
