There is a cryoglobulin intravascular precipitation, but a vasculitic reaction ion also, if I’m not wrong...so this could be a cryoglobulinemia type II/III.

agree with-Thrombotic vasculopathy due to cryoglobulins, 

since ears are also involved can we consider cocaine vasculopathy also

This was diagnosed as crystalglobulinemia. It was the skin condition that pointed to an underlying multiple myleoma which was confirmed by lab work up and bone marrow biopsy.
