What Causes Redness Of Legs After Doing Physical Activity?

Hi my son is 13 years old and his both legs get extremely red after any physical therapy activity as well as after hot showers. It fades away after 15-20mins . Not itchy or painful. He also said it gets red after longstanding. I am scared ghat could be a vascular problem. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and I think you are right, probably the main cause of his symptoms are vascular although we can dismiss others disorders like problems with the sweat glands, I advice you go to the doctor because at his age the vascular cause has a congenital/ malformation base, just avoid an exaggeration in the physical activities until you have a right diagnostic.I hope that my advice has been helpful,take care
