What Causes Purple Discoloration On Feet While Standing?
I got a surnburna week ago. When i stand my legs start turning purple. Went to the ER and the doc just gave me steroids for the swelling. But my legs turn normal color when im sitting but when i get back on my feet the start turn purple again. Im always walking and riding my bike to work. What is wrong with my legs?

Hello.
It could be due to a circulatory issue. Request for a full cardio check along with a Doppler ultrasound of your legs, a blood coagulation profile and a lipid profile. Blood pressure monitoring may also be required. Once all these causes are ruled out we can assume less serious causes, for now I see the need for these to be checked.
Best wishes
