    This symtom of red leg or discoloration of lower legs is so common and I see it everywhere. There is a reason why doctors don't know what causes it. Plenty medication and treatment will not stop this until it gets really bad. The root cause is the poor diet of eating too much sugary foods, fruit and plant carbohydrate foods !! Cut out and lower these foods and replace with good whole fat and protein foods will clear it and possibly many other chronic problems. I'm living proof. Good luck with all your health journeys

    Had a surgery on my right quad torn quadriceps. Post surgery they left the cast way too tight and now I have a brown discoloration on only my right side from where the pressure was. Can I get that corrected some how?? Guess I have to make a appointment.

    1:35 I've been dealing with this problem for a few years now. I have swelling and darkening around the inside of my ankles and on the shins. A couple of weeks ago I accidentally kicked into a bag of tools on the floor as I was walking past it. A screwdriver was sticking out and it gouged into my shin. I didn't think I hit it that hard, but it peeled back the skin like peeling an orange. Because of the fluid buildup under the skin, I guess it is compromised and not as strong as it should be. Ughh. It left a nice big hole in my shin. It's healed up, but it was a hassle to deal with for a while.
    So yeah. It's time to get this underlying condition fixed once and for all.

    This world never stops to surprise me. My wife recently pointed it out to me that my ankles have darkened. I was alarmed and investigated it, turns out it can be a sign of a bad heart. I’m really panicking now. I have dark skins on my ankles on both feet. I’m worried this is a sign of something bad going to happen.

    I begged for treatment, yet doc's here are reactive rather then proactive, my ankle got blood doc poked it said if the yellow shows then it is fine, I said fine this is not normal my parent do not have this,,, I have a problem still to this day they will not do anything. Poke Poke I walk everyday , tons of exercise dvd's and no clue why this happened do not smoke or drink (probably should start parents did both and they did not have this) what the heck and it hurts like a bruise very painful

    • @alexcrowder1673
      @alexcrowder1673 Před 2 lety +1

      It could just be rough skin that dirt is sticking to better than the rest of your skin. Skin on your knees or any dry areas tends to hold dirt better than the rest of the leg and then look extra clean when its scrubbed off. Often itll be paler too since scrubbing off the dead skin will reveal the new skin underneath which hasnt seen as much sun as the upper skin levels. Obviously get it checked out by a doctor if you can, but don't stress yourself out unnecessarily. Stress can be just as unhealthy as just about anything. Its absolutely terrible for your body chemistry and hormone production etc to be constantly worrying.

    Here's what I did:
    1.) Use a tumeric based soap. Mine has tumeric, aloe vera.
    2.) Use an exfoliate cloth w/ the soap. Lightly exfoliate.
    3.) Moisturize with a collagen lotion.
    That will reduce the inflammation and discoloring. You could see results in about a month.
    4.) Be sure to drink water or unsweet tea every day! If you're overweight, start there. 5.) Eliminate the sugar and starches from your diet, b/c that causes your body to retain water.
