A member asked:
I have varicose veins in my legs, lately my toes and ankles have become discolored. i have no pain at all. what is causing ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discoloration: I would need to know more what color they are. Brownish, speckled pattern is usually due to accumulation of the blood in the legs due to poor venous return and is not harmful. If they are purplish and show signs of lack of circulation, that is more concerning.
