Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
After reviewing history you gave, it seems that you may be having purpura of unknown origin. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Apply thrombophob oint on the patches and take tablets of vitamin K and vitamin C. I hope this would improve the condition.
