Need some further details regarding..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome back,

I've gone through your query, however from your description, it's not clear if the legs are causing any problem or do you mean to ask for cosmetic purposes.. since you've mentioned that they're like this from past 25years, most likely it's asymptomatic then..

Please take a few clear snap-shots of the legs under bright light and upload it here for my review..

Also let me know, is there any problems (pain, increase in swelling, redness , skin peeling or any thing else) ?

When you press over the shin bone (the front part of the leg in between knee and ankle), do you observe any pitting ? Similarly when you press over the feet is there any pitting there ?

Is there any history of any medical/surgical ailments or is she under any medication for any health concern ?

Do let me know all these details so that I can guide you more specifically in this..

Awaiting..

Take Care
Kind Regards
