Suggest Remedy For Rashes

I’ve had this rash looking thing on my leg since June-July, and it started in one small area but then started to spread on my entire lower left leg. The initial area has smoothed down, but now there are brown spots that resemble scars. What exactly is it and will the brown spots ever go away?

Hi,

You have given incomplete history. Still, I feel that you might be having progressive pigmented purpuric disease, also called Schamberg's disease. Initially there may be small purpuric spots gradually progress to large area upto knee. It is a benign condition and the pathology is mild vasculitis in dermal capillaries. No treatment is required. Still, thrombophob oint may be applied along with oral vitamin C tab for long time. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
