Hi Asmeet
I am attaching blood report and Care Hospital report. I have no ailment, except triglyceride is high and hence taking Paradox Cardio supplement. This pigmentation happened to me a year back.

Brief Answer:
Looks like pigmented purpuric dermatosis
Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your reports.
You seem to be having pigmented purpuric dermatosis.
It is usually an asymptomatic pigmentary disorder of the skin associated with diabetes, obesity, thyroid disease, liver disease and mostly occurs without any cause.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like fluticasone cream diluted in moisturising lotion in the ratio of 1:3 on the affected areas twice daily and take tablet calcium dobesilate 500 mg twice daily.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the prescription of the doctor.
