Purply Blotches on lower legs

[Dollie]

Past couple of years my lower legs (mainly at the back) have got a few purply, blotchy marks on them that never go away. I'm 46 and apart from carrying a stone or two that I shouldn't, I'm very fit and well, have no pain and manage to walk for miles - does anyone know what it could be - my mum thinks its a circulatory problem ?

Are they 'spidery' in appearance or more solid 'bruises'?

Can you feel anything under the skin?

Read this - particularly 'broken capillairies'

Hope it helps, but do see your GP if you are still worried.l

Brilliant website Ethel - thankyou - I think I recognise something on there that may be pertinent to my condition.
