Depends: .. on how you got those bruises/ brown spots. And it depends on where these bruises are. If they are on the heel or forefoot, then with athletic activity they may be part of normal wear/tear associated with those activities. If they are in the midfoot, then pay closer attention to make sure they don't turn color as normal bruises should and lessen in size. It is hard to comment further.

Spot Luck.: Monitor the spots closely. Use a camera, if possible. They will probably slowly resolve. If they seem to be enlarging, then seek a consult from a specialist.
