A doctor should evaluate and from superficial take looking at photos:
The photo on the right looks like squamous cell skin cancer to me, but it could be lots of things.
The purple spots look like purpura. For instance https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/henoch-schonlein-purpura/symptoms-causes/syc-20354040
general info: https://dermnetnz.org/topics/purpura
-Petechiae are small, purpuric lesions up to 2mm across
-Ecchymoses or bruises are larger extravasations of blood.
-Palpable purpura is purpura than can be felt, due to inflammation of the blood vessels (vasculitis)
-Pigmented purpura is a sign of petechial haemorrhages associated with capillaritis

The first dermatologist took a biopsy on my leg (which took months to heal and is still fading almost a year later) and that came back with basically nothing, so the default seems to be eczema.
