Purple Looking Spots On One Of The Legs, Fingers After Vacation. What Could It Be ?
Hi I just came back from vacation to the Caribbean and noticed that I got purple looking spots on one of my legs no pain or itch, I thought it was maybe too much sun, I also noticed that I have the same purple reddish looking mark on my fingers, what could this be, no pain, no rash, no fever and no itch, what could it be?
Thank you for your help
