How To Treat Red And Itchy Lumps On Legs When Diagnosed With Vasculitis?
Hi, i am 25 years and for the past 10 months i am getting red lumps on the lower part of my legs.I visited a deramatologist and he has done a biopsy for me. The results came back showing i have vasculitis. I was put on prednisone for a month. It was clearing up nicely. The course has now ended and all those red lumps occured again. It itches very bad, is there any way i can solve my problem.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a recurrent vasculitis. You may need another cycle of prednisone which should be taken under prescription. Meanwhile, I suggest using a steroid cream for local application such as Hydrocortisone cream. I also recommend cold water to help relieve the itchiness.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
