Have You Ever Seen This?

Published

small punctate red macules on a shin, no itching, burning, drainage, no known etiology

We are calling in Infectious Disease (not sure why), Allergist, Dermatologist, Cardiologist, not sure who else; This was discovered a couple of days ago during a bath. Patient was not aware she had them and denies any problems with them, we are all curious as to what they are.

Have you ever had a patient with something like this?

History includes DM, HTN, s/p CVA; some evidence of poor circulation in legs, that is, longstanding brown deposits in skin.

Thanks. :up::nurse:

But, since they are already spending the money (all be it unnecessarily), could you let us know what they conclude? :smokin:
