What Causes Redness In The Legs While Standing?
My legs turn red, purple and splotchy when I stand for long periods, like after 5 minutes of standing. It s been happening since I was very young, I m now 23. Now I am noticing that my arms are doing the same when I like rest my chin on my hand. What is going on??

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience of reddnes on your leg and hand I am suggesting that this is not a pathology rather it is caused pressure in those body parts leading to accumulation of blood which will manifest in the skin as reddish discoloration
I hope this helps Regards
