Has Vericose Vein, Red Spots All Over The Leg. What Does The Finding Mean?

my father has two things, one that might not be serious, but one we suspect could be. 1) he has vericose vein(s) on his right leg, his leg is all purple and red. But that's not what we're worried about. 2) WHAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT: his other leg has red spots all over, it is not itchy, there's no pain, they are not bumpy or rough. You cannot feel them at all by touching them. You can only see them. Maybe twice the diameter of a pimple. We are worried it could be an autoimmune disease. What are the possibilities?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

It does not seem reasonable or realistic to suggest some suitable solutions, with the available incomplete information / You have not stated your personal habits, family history or co-morbidities, even age, gender...they could have an influence on the diagnosis and outcome...

He must be examined by a dermatologist / Biopsy is generally necessary / Vasculitis is possible

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
