They are red slightly raised and spaced out. He says they dont itch at all. It started about 2 weeks ago with a few and they have slowly multiplied. He has no allergies he is aware of except to keflex which we discovered on july 31st he had a major allergic reaction but everything from that had cleared up a few days after it happened. He takes no medications and we have not changed soaps or detergents. I attached a photo the first time but it must not have come through. I have attached two more to this. Thank you

Photos of rash
Brief Answer:
Leucocytoclastic vasculitis is most likely possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I have received the images. Thanks for attachments and sorry for the inconvenience.
From the photographs, it seems to be Leucocytoclastic vasculitis to me. It is characterised by asymptomatic or mildly itchy red colored rash over lower legs usually. Various precipitating factors are recent infection, any drug, trauma, connective tissue disorders etc. At times, it may occur spontaneously with no obvious reasons.
I would advise you to get following investigations done for him
1) Complete blood count
2 ) ANA levels
3) CRP/ESR
in such cases, I prefer to advise oral antihistaminics like levocetrizine and tablet Dapsone to my patients. Topical mild to moderate potency steroid like mometasone also helps. These all are prescription drugs. You should visit the doctor so that he can examine him and give the prescription. He may order Skin Biopsy for him. You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps. Take care.
