Hi.
As per your case history you are having purpuric rash.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take good nutritious diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk.
2. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily on it.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral niacinamide taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
