Burst blood vessels on my feet and ankles

I have the same problems - did you find anything out?

I have the same red spots . they break out on your feet first and as the years go by they spread up the leg and hip,  One or two spots turn into a german measle looking patches,  They start off deep red and turn brown as they go away which I found only bedrest helps the fastest.  They finally admitted it was vasculitis.  I have lupus and they are suppose to be treating me but I am still having problems even with the steroid.  I also have extreme red eyes and the dark circles =under the eye. I later found out the dark circles come from leaky capillaries. so are the leaking capallaries about the same as the vasculitis and what doctor to see about the vasculitis and leaking capillaries.

I have the same thing, but mine is a bit different. Mine started on my feet and ankles, but then the broken blood vessel rash went up my legs, and now a week later are on my stomach and arms. I went to the dr and the hospital and neither one knew what it was, but yet sent me in for blood tests. Gonna be two weeks before I see the dr again to see what he things. Was wondering if anyone knows how to stop the spreading?

i have this as well on one foot. the same that i had knee surgery on. i am not over weight and am scared. to ask the doctor that did my surgery would not make sence..i am a little scared....

Dearest superfat
First do not accept being fat is the first thing
Liver cleanse will help you stop accumulating fat in your system
Fasting the whole day will help to increase your metabolism
No soda, no chips , read label and avoid chemicals
Stop shaking spices in your food........cook with garlic, thyme, celery and other natural spices
stop using plastic, drink from glasses. The best water you can drink is from a filtered source collected in glass bottle(30 cents at publix)
Avoid Corn and Canola,or vegetable oil. Instead use macademia and other essential oil.Eat mostky home foods and exercise a little at a time.

i broke my kneecap and had surgery.They put me on coumadin for 3 wks after...it is 3 months and i am getting purple..red..veins on y foot and ankle of the same side.My drs. shrug it off and say oh it is age or because i am not moving around. I am 55 and 120 pounds. I have been moving my leg more than maybe i am suppoesd to. I do not trust dr.s for many things that happenned to me including almost losing my life from a simple hysterectomy. I internally ble and it was horrible. Does anyone know what I may have??? Thank you and i hope you all feel better as well......

My first episode with these blood red dots that form what looks like a rash was while we were on a cruise. The doctor on board said I had "jellyfish stings". Okay? We didn't see any jellyfish but okay...he's the doctor. Then two years later, on dry land, I was walking through a craft fair in August and noticed my "jellyfish stings" were back. Now three years since the last episode they are back after a day of walking on a hot, humid day...no jellyfish in sight. I am overweight but I hate the label of obese. I am sedentary except for domestic chors. The idea of the "blood thinner" connection is quite interesting since I take about 2000mg of Bufferin per day for persistent migrains (since I was 17). Whatever this is, it is NOT jellyfish stings.

I am extremely tired so please forgive my spelling in this last note.....

Last Friday I noticed my feet swelling and red spots appearing all over my ankles.  The red dots became a super red color and now have faded to a brown color.  My swelling went away after a day.  This caused my feet to feel really sore, they hurt to even walk on.  I went to urgent care and they had no answers for me, they told me to see a dermatologist.  I went to a dermatologist yesterday and she said it is broken capillaries.  I only weigh 115lbs and have no allergies.  So she asked me if I have been doing any activities were I put a lot of pressure on my feet and legs. I told her I have just started working out and a lot of my exercising consist of jumping squats and lunges.  She told me this was probably the cause and to give my feet and legs a rest from working out for awhile.  She says she just had a patient that jump ropes a lot come in with the same exact thing.  She told me to take an anti inflammatory next time they swell up and gave me a cream to put on my ankles to help with redness, swelling, itching and irritation.  The cream is called Triamcinolone Cream.

This is a dermatology disease. Better to see a dermatologist.

I Am 21 weeks pregnant and have only gained about 4lb's  and i weight 122 lbs and i have red blotches that look like broken blood vessels on my feet and ankles.They seem to be spreading because i keep finding new blotches. My doctor said its because you have 50% more blood in your body when your pregnant and your veins can bulge out. Iam guessing i have weak veins since iam not overweight.My mother told me to get more vitamin C, because thats good for your veins.They look terrible and iam gonna try to wear compression socks but if anyone has any idea how to stop the blotches that would be great!!

Hi all! It's good to finally find a page where it seems like we all have the same thing going on. I am visiting the dermatologist next week and will let you know what he says, but it also sounds like our collective weight gain has contributed to this. Probably increased pressure on our feet/ankles. WE need to start eating right, stop going to McDonalds, KFC< Skyline, Chipotle, etc. and EXERCISE! EXERCISE! EXERCISE!!

This SAME thing is happening to my husband right now. He could barely walk and now the dark red spots are all over his ankles. What is this????? He is headed to an Urgent Care place now.

My boyfriend has the same pin head red dfrom on his feet and ankles to just below the sock line and he is anything but over weight.

it only seems to happen in hot weather when he wears nylon socks.

no socks,  no rash. 

I have been having the same issues with both my feet, they are swollen to the ankles nd hurt really bad i havea red rashy like spts on both my inner ankles that are now turnig a browning color they did itch when then were red like a misquito bite i wonder what it is i'm going to schedule an appointent with a foot doctor to see what is going on....any guesses anyone????

I have had this condition on my ankles for years!  I went to the dermatologist this morning as lately the spots have started migrating to the tops of my feet at the base of my toes. The doc basically said, "they are broken capillaries.  That's the way you are.  You can try to laser them, but most likely you will continue to get them".  I am 5'5", 100 pounds and my weight doesn't vary more than a couple of pounds, so weight is not the issue.  If you don't have any associated pain or swelling, get friendly with cover-up.... I have. :-(
