Hi.
As per your case history you are having pigmented purpura dermatosis.
My treatment advice is -
1.Avoid standing for long time as it may worsen the condition.
2. Take a vitamin c supplement and vitamin b12 supplement once daily for both skin lesions and numbness.
3. Apply a calcium dobisilate cream (Osil cream) twice daily on the spots.
It may take 4-6 months for complete recovery.
Thanks.
