Hello @thunder_dog88 -- I had reddish brown spots on my legs similar to yours but I had no pain. I do have lymphedema in the legs which I think may be the cause of mine. I did find some information on Mayo Clinic's site about spots on the legs.

Vasculitis - Symptoms and Causes:
-- https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/vasculitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20363435

I also found some side effects that you could discuss with your doctor if the drug is making it worse.
FDA Adverse Events Summary for PLAQUENIL* (Hydroxychloroquine sulfate)

Are you able to get a second opinion?

John

Thank you. I checked both sites out. It doesn't look like there's a cure. 🙁
