Dear Sir

Going by description of symptoms the lesion of thigh are likely to be due to ecchymosis. I would suggest a complete blood count. Oral Vitamin C supplements will be helpful
The respiratory complaint is likely to be due to Rhinitis. steam inhalation and normal saline nasal drops will be helpful

Take care
