Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that you also think of taking oral low dose steroid. Only topical steroid is not sufficient for such a purple leg. Antibiotics orally is also necessary to start with. Check for the color daily, if the color turns further purple than surgeons opinion is necessary.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
