Eval: Dear tigress, this would require visual inspection & medical history to provide accurate information. If this is more than a fleeting problem, than medical evaluation will likely shed more light on the matter. Take care.

Purple spots: Could be dilated small blood vessels but cannot be sure if new, you should see a dermatologist.
