Hi, thank you for posting.

I think that these dark patches are caused by Purpura, that is a disease caused by bleeding underneath the skin.
To get the right diagnosis you need:
- Complete blood count(red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets).
- Bilirubin Test.
- Kidney Function Tests and Urine Tests.
- Coombs Test.

You should contact a hematologist.

I hope I helped you.

Regards.
Dr. Behar.
