Lower limb vasculitis
I got red rashes in my lower limbs since 4 yrs I showed to many dermatologists but they couldn't guess. Later one doctor told me get skin biopsy and he declared it to be lymphotic vasculitis. He gave some ointment applying which I lost melanocytes on my feet and now my feet looks pale in colour. I got those red rashes on both legs. They swell sometimes and gives out little puss and then a small pit is formed there. I'm not able to understand where I should go for treatment. When I searched in Google is written rheumatologists treats vasculitis. But I'm still not sure about it. Please give some light on my disease. Is it curable and what are reasons this disease.
