Bluish or purplish spots may be blood spots. Sometimes, spots have unknown causes. Rashes at work may be due to chemicals in gloves, solvents, detergents, etc...

Accepted Answer

Details: It is hard enough to diagnose a skin condition even with an exam, it is impossible to provide a guess when there is so little information. We need to know the duration, the appearance, the character (itching , burning etc) of the rash. We also need to know what kind of medications or supplements you are on.  Can you provide us with these info.?
