Tiny Flat Red Freckles, No Bumps

My 15 year old daughter has tiny red, what looks like tiny freckles on the bottom part of her legs down to the top of her feet . What can this be and should we have it looked at by a physician? It s not a rash because they are flat; no bumps. Thank you.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,
The lesions you described small reddish patches on feet and lower legs are likely to be Schamberg's disease. It is considered to be capillaritis, a minor type of vascultis. It occurs without any cause. Long time standing position may trigger this condition. There is mild infection in capillaries in skin.There may be leak of blood in dermis causing reddish colored macules and patches. It may go away by itself without any treatment. If needed, oral vitamin C and K may be given. Apply thrombophob oint. on lesions lightly. The disease may be improved in few weeks to few months. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
