As: Blood find increase resistance in your veins (due to valve dysfunction) gravity enhances slippage of red blood cells outside veins which further oxidizes to that color. Prednisone and Colchicine may help a bit on healing, but support stockings, leg elevation and in some cases diuretics may help.
