Hi.
As per your case history you are having purpuric rash on lower limb, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid standing for long periods of time.
2. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.
3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
