Brown squiggly lines on leg, behind knee, from about 4 inches above it to about 6 inches below it. it looks like they follow veins, also dark spots?

Sounds like: superficial varicose veins. If they are bothering you, an injection with sclerosing agent could help. See your doctor to make sure that it is nothing more serious.
