@heatherlivingwithlupus: Livedo reticularis is a skin finding where the skin develops a lace-like, net-shaped, reddish-purple or bluish pattern, most commonly on the legs, but sometimes on the arms or trunk. Livedo reticularis occurs because blood flow through small blood vessels in the skin becomes uneven, causing areas of reduced oxygenation that create the characteristic mottled appearance. What does it look like? A purplish, web-like or fishnet pattern on the skin Common causes 👉🏻Benign (often harmless) Many healthy people develop a temporary form when exposed to cold. The blood vessels constrict, producing the mottled pattern, which often fades after warming up. 👉🏻Medical conditions: Antiphospholipid syndrome Systemic lupus erythematosus Polyarteritis nodosa Other forms of vasculitis (blood vessel inflammation) Blood-clotting disorders Certain infections Some medications
