What could be causing red and blue/purple-ish splotches on my legs after shower?

Warm water: Warm water can cause skin blood vessels to dilate and bring more blood close to the skin surface in attempt to cool off. Try using cooler shower water.

After shower: Dry or sensitive skin may develop such splotches after a shower, but if not intensely itchy it is not too problematic. If you note dry or sensitive skin, apply a moisturizing agent like alpha keri lotion while your skin is still wet to retain some skin oil and moisture.
