Hi,

It may be vasculitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Inflammation in blood vessels below the skin may be responsible. There may be some cause like infection, internal disease or connective tissue diseases. So, thorough examination and investigations may be required by an expert dermatologist to reach the perfect diagnosis and then accordingly proper treatment may be considered.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
