Suggest Remedies For Reddish Purple Spots On The Leg
I have three reddish purple spots on my legs they don t ooze, they are very itchy, they have only recently turned purple. I haven t touched with bare hand because I m not sure what it is. there is a spot in the middle of it but nothing comes out of it.
You may try local treatment with betamethasone twice a day to help the spots fade. Insect bites or a local reaction can be the cause and they can both be treated with local steroids (betamethasone).
Normally they should be better in 4-5 days. If you notice no improvement or if you notice any worsening you will need to see your doctor.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
Regards, Dr. Antoneta Zotaj General and Family Physician
