I noticed that my legs turn purple and get some little white spots on them sometimes. This morning they did it again, only this time I noticed that when I rubbed lotion on them, they turned back to their normal color for a while. I actually compared one leg to the other, and one was completely purple/rosey red while the other was normal color. I was just getting dressed for work, not really on my feet that long. I'm assuming this is a circulation issue due to all the extra blood I've got flowing around, but come on...
Anyone else experiencing this, or have a suggestion to keep this from happening? Can I keep it from happening?
Re: Purple Legs?
Yes, I've had this since childhood. It is a circulatory problem, but not a big deal, despite how weird it looks when your legs are purple with pink or white splotches. I get it if I stand in one spot for too long: showering, waiting in line...
I have to rub/massage my legs, or walk around, bending my legs to get the blood flowing again... Good times. Nothing to worry about though, but since it's new for you, definitely see what your doc has to say. GL!
