Hi.
As per your case history your friend is probably having purpuric rashes.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. Other treatment options are topical steroid, oral multivitamins taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
