Bruising on Penis

My son is 2 yrs old and and when i just changed his diaper i noticed that it looked like the head of his penis was bruised. He is circumsized. I was wondering what could couse the bruising if it is such. Or if its something else. It is purple blue and it is small spots on his penis/ shaft..

Does he ,like all little boys grab at it maybe he did something that caused it to bruise, keep an eye on what he does if he has formed any habit of fiercely grasping it .Does he climb around a lot , that he may have fallen are you his only care giver ?..
