Dear Patient,

Mild bruising and bleeding in old age is not alarming and occurs due to superficial vessels bleeding on contact. This blood gets reabsorbed eventually and the mark goes. If he is taking aspirin/ascard this can be expected but can occur in normal healthy individuals. You can notify his GP who can change the medicine. Here is an article by Mayo Clinic that we recommend you read through. The red flags are also shared as to when to seek help from a medical specialist
