Red Blotchy Marks Like Capillaries Turning Brownish Red Before Fading On Calves While Walking. Suggest
I walk roughly 2 miles Adam and have recently started getting red blotchy marks on my calves. Some look like capillaries and others are like dots up to the size of a pea. They do not hurt or itch. Just ugly ...after a day of rest they turn a brownish red and start to fade until I walk again. They seem to be getting worse each time I walk.
