Schamburgs purpura
Detailed Answer:
Helo and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern. I have viewed the images.
The affected skin has a cayenne pepper appearance which is classical of schamburgs purpura. It is due to red blood cells leaking from capillaries and the hemoglobin this released is deposited as hemosiderin giving rise to this appearance. It is a benign condition, restricted to ankle and lower leg region and with no underlying predisposing factors. Various treatment modalities have been tried including topical steroid cream. You may use a moderately potent topical steroid e.g either mometasone furoate 0.1% cream or triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream, twice daily.. Some cases may clear spontaneously while others don't clear even with treatment.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Hi again.
Daily prolonged standing or walking is said to be a predisposing factor. It is due to leakage of RBCs from capillaries.
Take care.
