What Causes A Reddish Purple Spot In The Leg?

The pores on my dads leg have turned a reddish purple color and there is a thumb sized purple spot with a little gray thing in the middle. I took him to the doctors but all he said is stop smoking and to use rash creme but he didn't really do anything to help. Please tell me what maybe wrong with him and what kind of doctor I should take him to.
