Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you may be having a purpuric rash on leg.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't worry, it may fade away on its own.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion if there is burning or itching.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 1 month.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
