hi there I m with my grandmother and she has been working at this picnic so it s very hot outside. she has a red rash on both of her legs on the inside above we ankles...it s almost looks like blood rushed under the skin. it s doesn t itch until she s outside and it s not bumpy...is there any thing that will get rid of it? or what exactly it is?
The rash could be a pigmented purpuric dermatosis or petechia or purpura. Pigmented purpuric dermatosis is a harmless condition and only of cosmetic concern. But Petechie and purpura are signs of underlying blood disorder. So, I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist to rule out purpura and petechia.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
