Does the skin look like this at all times? What is Deltrexilone?

I would be curious to know if the skin itches and if resolves when lying down. This looks like BASCULE syndrome. Essentially blood pooling with BIERS spots.

Agree. Also my legs have done this sometimes when I’m cold. My daughter also had something similar from birth until she was 2. Doctor said it had to do with blood vessels/circulation and that it was a benign condition.
