What Causes Water Retention, Swelling And Red Blotchy Spots On Lower Legs?

I have water retention in both legs with some red blotchy spots on my lower legs. No itchy, no pain just a tight feeling in my calves and swelling around my ankles. Swelling goes away when i elevate my legs. The swelling is worse by mid day and seems normal first thing in the morning.
