What could cause levido reticularis to appear around knees for days straight in warm climate with unexplained bruising around legs in young adult fm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Livedo reticularis is a symptom rather than a disease. It can be signs of alternating dilated and constricted blood vessels as a reaction to temperature variations. The added bruising is concerning and may indicate your livedo is being caused by inflammation (vasculitis) or occlusion (thrombus) of your vessels. In either case you need to see a dermatologist and/or rheumatologist asap.
