Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have really dark lines down the back of my calfs that seem to follow my vein pattern... They look almost like scars or as if someone cut the indentions between each of the calf muscles in my legs. Its not painful nor does it cause and sort of discomfort. It just looks weird and kind of gross... Any idea what it is or why!? It has only been around for the last few years.
