I have searched the internet regarding my problem. I know one isn't supposed to do that! My search led me to believe I have livedo reticularis.

I have had these "spider web" patterns on my legs for years and more recently my abdomen too. They are large, red and angry looking and lately the skin on the pattern has become dry and cracked. I don't feel it all. No pain, no itching whatsoever. It just looks rather unsightly. Not that I would, but there is no chance I'd be able to wear shorts.

I really don't know if I should be concerned or not. I will be seeing my GP for my sleeping meds soon and wonder if I should bring this up. I've lived with it for years, but it looks particularly angry these days.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me

After reading your link I would definitely bring it up.
Anything that could potentially become a blood clot is nothing to play with.
The other things listed in that link need to be ruled out also.
Hope all works out well for you.
Thanks for this!
