Hello doctor,
I have a cluster of small red dots on side of the knee. It looks like a hickey. It is smooth, painless, and itch-free. It has been on the knee for about two months. I have attached images for your reference. What medicines should I take?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have noted your concern and I have viewed the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- Perhaps it is a Schamberg's purpura which is caused due to capillaritis.
- I suggest an oral vitamin C once daily. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicine.
- I suggest for topical use, you may use a moderately potent topical steroid like Mometasone furoate 0.1% cream or Triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream twice daily.
Regards.
