Hi Sheetal,
Thanks for writing in.
It can be purpuric spots or erythema nodosum.
You can apply calamine lotion over the area.Also analgesic like paracetamol would be helpful.
Take a lot of lemon juice daily.Also you can take vitamin C tablets daily.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helps.
