Hi
Thanks for being at Healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs.
They seem to be purpuric spots which usually indicate vasculitis which is inflammation of the vessels.
I need to ask you few questions:
What is the duration of the spots?
Do you have history of fever, body aches, joint pains, sore throat, abdominal pain or urinary complaints associated with rash?
Do you have any other ailments?
Have you taken any medicines recently?
Kindly revert with the answers.
