Brief Answer:
Seems to be Henoch Schonlein Purpura
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome back to HCM
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it seems to be a case of henoch schonlein purpura.
It is vasculitis of small blood vessels which usually is associated with infections, certain drugs , vaccination or even cold weather conditions.
Is the patient complaining of abdominal pain or blood in urine?
I would recommend you to consult a dermatologist and get a complete work up done.
Treatment usually consists of anti inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen and oral steroids in some cases.
