It's not a toomuh. The blotch on my gammy leg is nothing more than pigmented purpuric dermatitis (please note that the picture of the guy with the hairy ass on that page is NOT ME).

Rare, but harmless. Amputation will not be necessary.

Dig this crazy diagnosis:

Skin shows orthokeratosis, acanthosis and spaced out elongated rete ridges. Dermal papillae and upper dermis has perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate. Red cell extravasate is present. Numerous siderophages are seen.


The steroid ointment I'm to put on it cost S$1.70, or about a buck U.S. What sort of crazy health care system are they running here?
