Any Medication For Benign Pigmented Purpura?
I have been diagnosed with benign pigmented purpura on both legs, below the knees. My understanding, there isn't any cream or lotion that might help this condition. I have been using Amalactin for the moisturizer/hydroxy. What medications might have caused this skin condition? YYYY@YYYY is where I can be reached. Thank you for your time

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Benign pigmented purpura is a self limiting condition.
It does not require any treatment.
Treatment is not even possible.
Steroid creams provide some relief but cannot be used longer.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
