Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Bruises: These spots may have been due to a combination of pressure from sitting and easy bruiseability from taking anti-inflammatory.medications like aspirin,ibuprofen or naproxen, or be due to platelet or vitamin K or C deficiency especially if you note bleeding from gums or nose. If these bruises continue to occur, consult a hematologist.
