A few weeks ago I noticed this area on the back of my thighs just above the knee that looked to me, like varicose veins or some sort of bruising; it was a net-like pattern of brownish red lines. It covered a large portion of the back of upper leg on one side and some on the other leg. I really didn’t know what to think about it. I searched the internet and diagnosed it as several conditions but still was not sure. Finally I broke down and spent the 0 to go to the doctor.  The doctor took one look at it and told me it was caused from standing in front of heat, which in my case was the wood stove. The doctor explained to me that she had seen cases of this on the front of the thighs from prolonged heat from laptops.

Additionally, when the skin is not adequately hydrated, it loses thickness, and offers less body protection from environmental factors. (more…)
