A member asked:
I got an allergic reaction to bug bites and now they are turning dark purple. is it going to go away or am i stuck with the dark purple marks. or is t?

Skin color change: the change to dark purple likely corresponds to the beginning of resolution of the rash. it may be a slow process for it to return to normal in cases of chronic allergen/irritant exposure. The process only starts once the trigger is removed.
