Concerned yes: But probably not worried. The type of redness you describe is most often caused by a vascular disorder, commonly brought on by venous valvular insufficiency. There are some autoimmune diseases, that cause color changes, but more often in the digits. You should mention your symptoms to our family doctor and possibly get a referral to a vascular specialist.
