Suggest Remedy For Spots In Leg With Hair Loss
I am a 34 y/o female 5'4", 124lb. Have had ongoing pain in left leg for past 5 months. Last month or so have been losing a lot of hair in shower and when brushing and have developed red spots on lower legs, not itchy, flat, don't blanch when pressed. Also bruising very easily.

thanks for contacting HCM,
as per tour description you might be suffering from Hansen's disease.
on going pain in left leg for the past 5 month is probably due to neuritis. red spot without pain and itching with loss of sensation might be a patch of leprosy. are you residing in endemic zone?
contact you dermatologist as soon as possible get clinical examination done. it will confirm the diagnosis. if in any confusion slit skin smear for AFB, dermatopathological examination can be done to confirm or rule out the diagnosis.
hope this will solve your problem.
