Hi. As per your case history you are having pigmented purpuric dermatosis, my treatment advice is - 1. Avoid standing for long periods of time and keep pillows below legs while sleeping. 2. Apply a calcium dobisilate cream like Osil cream twice a day. 3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months. 4. Other treatment options are oral calcium dobisilate, multivitamins taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
