Leg marks

I have a mark on my leg which looks like a hole has been punched into it with a punch used for papers that are to be filed.

The inside of the hole looks dark red and it doesn't itch and hasn't changed since it appeared.

Had anyone else got something like this?

clumps of fine veins

I agree with FGT. My legs look like that!

Looks like a cluster of telangiectasias (spider veins) to me. Smaller than varicose veins and they sit on the top surface of the skin. I used to be a PA for a group consultant dermatologists. But this is only my best guess.

No not raised or rough. Just unsightly!

My partner has them on one of his legs, one large one right across the back which appeared after he stepped awkwardly on a kerb and tweaked his ankle. The doc told him it will never go away.

Are they slightly raised / rough feeling? Could be a localised vasculitis?

I have had these unsightly marks for several years, they look like bruises, but don’t go away. Anyone have any idea what they could be?
