Suggest Medication For Small Red Dots On Ankle Noticed After Stem Cell Injection
I have small red dots on my ankle (I had a compound fracture 30 years ago and suffer form osteo arthritis on that ankle). I had a stem cell injection three weeks ago, and I have a decreased level of red blood cells and now I have these little red dots. Should I be worried and making an apt with my Doc?

Hi.
As per your case history you are purpuric rash.
My treatment advice is -
1. Take diet rich in vitamin c like citrus fruits.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
4. If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
