Vasculitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like vasculitis, an inflammation of blood vessels.
I treat such cases with oral and topical steroids.
Please meet a dermatologist and discuss.
A skin biopsy might be required to reach a final diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
