Redness or spotting on the legs and feet can be easy to overlook.
In some cases, especially for those managing scleroderma, it may be caused by tiny blood vessels just under the skin. This can create a mottled or slightly bruised appearance, often around the ankles, lower legs, or feet.
For many, it’s mostly cosmetic. But changes in skin color can also point to circulation concerns or other underlying issues.
It’s worth paying attention to what your body is showing you.
If you’re noticing changes, having it evaluated can help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.
