I have two pretty young platies that have acquired blood spots in their stomache. the first one i noticed was like a month ago and she is fine but the spot is still there well i just got back from a trip to Italy for 2 weeks and my little male now has a spot on the underside of his belly. what is internal bleeding caused by? and should i treat them?

Could you please post a picture of the platies?
This would greatly help us to make an accurate diagnosis and would help us to recommend the right treatment.

Ok i got a few pics, sorry it took me so long. they arent very good and its kind of hard to see the bleeding spots but here ya go. The first one is probably the easiest to see, the bleeding is just behind her side fin. The last one is the little male and his is farther back on his belly, his is a little harder to see.

Difficult. I cant tell if it is illness at all.
Provided water is Ok, fish are eating and swimming normally, I would just monitor until further developments take place, if any.

to me, it appears to be blood streaks from the base of the fin, you might be careful to watch for septicemia or similar blood infection, but the photo is also fairly blurry, and I could be completely off.
