A member asked:
My sons lower legs are purply/red. one more than the other. no pain or discomfort, just the color variation from the rest of his body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mottling: Such purplish mottling of the legs in an otherwise youngster most likely is due to some constriction of superficial skin veins and may have to due with some chilling of the skin. If you still have concerns, have his pediatrician check him.
