Hello,

Perhaps you have livedo reticularis - it is a reticular, lacy purplish discoloration due to superficial venous congestion.

I request you to kindly upload a few images of the affected area in "Reports Section" so that I am able to confirm and guide you better.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
