Hi I did review your concern. These symptoms of various different regions raise the suspicion of vasculitis/autoimmune disease. I would recommend you to consult a immunologist/rhemuatologist/physician for further testing and evaluation like CBC,ANA,ANCA and also biopsy of local leg lesions if required. Early diagnosis and treatment is warrented.
