I am really beginning to freak out these spots are coming up my ankles and making my lower legs dark... I heard something about venous insufficiency and bad blood circulation due to obesity... how can I stop thwm from coming??? I am currently drinking horse chestnut and applying fade cream for the dark spots but it.doesn't seem to.be working....help....should I see a Dr?

    Does it seem to come on after exercising? I quite often have a rash appear on lower legs and ankles after hiking or walking longer than normal. What I have is called Hiker's Rash. It usually disappears in two or three days if I cut back on my activity.

    My toes get numb or fall asleep when I go hiking.

    I do, but they go away after a few days. I was thinking it was a capillary problem. I told my Dr about it but without seeing them at the time, she couldn't really tell me anything. She didn't seem too concerned. It happens to me on the stationary bike. I stopped using it.
