Hi,
You may be having probably Schamberg's disease. It is a mild form of vasculitis.. capillaritis. There may be brownish patches. It may be called pigmented purpuric dermatosis. It may occur after log time standing. Still, for firm diagnosis, you consult dermatologist. He might prescribe vitamin C and K for long duration. And may advise to apply thrombophob oint. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
