His spots are not typical of most petechia IMO. They are not dark enough. Petechiae go thru stages when they fade. If his do not do that, they are probably something else. The pale pink spots are mostly confined to the skin.
I think it is something in his environment doing it. Perhaps his shoes? Are they too tight? I knew a young man who had terrible pain in his feet, from his job. He was a pole climber and wore those spiked shoes, climbing utility poles.
23 is awfully young for PN pain. Unless it is hereditary.
Looking at that photo of this young man's foot, there is a cluster
of angry red spots near the ankle bone. They look similar to chigger bites. If petechiae, that spot might be a compression spot from shoes.
I'd suggest he get more comfortable shoes.
