Hi kookie236,
I think we are getting a little confused because you've posted your question/similar question in several different threads.

It would be helpful if you were able to keep your replies in one thread, so that we have all of the information in one place.
In re-reading your other threads, I see now that your husband has a history of veinous insufficiency. Since it appears that he also has Hep C and Cirrhosis, my recommendation is to make sure that he is under the care of a good hepatologist. I think that he should focus on treating his Hep C, which is damaging his liver. The purple spots, lesions, and swelling in his legs could be due to his Hep C and Cirrhosis. Since he's been treated for veinous insufficiency before, they could also be a reoccurence of his veinous insufficiency, which could also be complicated by edema, poor circulation, and his Cirrhosis.
If he has open lesions, he is at risk for non-healing wounds and infection.
He should get in to see a hepatologist to follow up on his Hep C and Cirrhosis, and if the hepatologist thinks the problem with his legs is circulatory, then he should ask for a referral to a vascular specialist.
