Thank you John, for the link. I’ve read what I can find online about CCV but his was new for me. Any information is much appreciated. For now my diagnosis is general essential teleangiectasia. I have added a photo of my left leg. I have considered going to a teaching hospital and am thinking I need to take steps to get that started.

I think a teaching hospital or major health facility would be a good place to go if possible. Have you ever used Google Scholar? (https://scholar.google.com/). It's great for finding medical reference type info and it lets you sort results by year to get the latest links. Here are a couple references. The second one is from 1971 but sounds really promising if it would work.
