What Could Be The Reason For Having Brown Spots On My Leg?
Hi, I noticed this morning after I finished my shower that some brown spots appear on the back side of my leg and souple ones on my right leg as well. they look like small circles and take tow vertical lines as if it is a drawing. Could you help me identify them, they make me feel nervous?

Hello,
Reddish brown staining on our lower legs is often caused by problems with the veins on our lower legs. This is known as varicose veins. I suggest using compression stockings and maintain the legs elevated. If the symptoms continue, you should see an angiologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
