Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that you also think of taking oral low dose steroid. Only topical steroid is not sufficient for such a purple leg. Antibiotics orally is also necessary to start with. Check for the color daily, if the color turns further purple than surgeons opinion is necessary. I will be happy to answer all your future concern. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious disease specialist. Wish you the best health at Chat Doctor.
