That's very interesting. My hip was replaced 9 years ago and while the skin on that thigh is still numb that's where the purigo developed -- a patch about 10 or 12 inches long -- following a nerve path. Even though the skin is numb my leg hurts.

Thanks Catherine - am keeping my powder dry at the mo with my experience/results of CM but will report back soon I hope. I too had a right hip replacement!

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine (delivered by an experienced well-recognized practicioner) helped me through menopause decades ago. I am thinking about seeing her again for the purigo. My dermatologist did a biopsy so I am sure about the diagnosis and she prescribed Dupixent which is outrageously expensive. I have used it for about 2 months and see some improvement -- not huge but it is receding rather than expanding. Gel bandages (available on Amazon) that absorb the exudate seems to help healing of the doing lesions. I was old to leave them on for 2 or 3 days at a pop. My lesions follow a nerve path on my thigh, the skin of which has been numb for almost 10 years after a hip replacement -- that is now going south. Hope you find relief.
