Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It could be a purpura. You can take Vitamin C tablets twice daily for a week. If it does not resolve in a week, do consult your Dermatologist.
You should consult Dermatologist immediately, if the rash ulcerate or increase rapidly in size.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
