Ah... Atrial fibrillation. Dermatologic conditions are hard to discuss without seeing them. BUT, atrial fibrillation lowers the amount of blood going thru the heart and it builds up behind the heart. One can have fluid in the legs and have so much pressure that small amounts of blood pop out of the vessels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
