Pigmented purpura in 12-year old

My 12-year old grandson has been diagnosed with "Mojacchi-Shaumberg disease"  He has a pigmented purpura on his legs.  A biopsy was performed which came back negative.  The problem is that he is very self- consious about the lesions when he has to wear shorts in gym class.  The doctors are interested in his case, and told my daughter that "this is usually found in older men".  She asked me to contact you to see if you have any further information or suggestioons as how to find more.
