Having doc issues and he is at a loss to what this is. Does this look familiar to anyone? Or if you have a suggestion a direction to research that would be appreciated as well.

I've had occasional bruising on my back and spine but usually after a day or so resolves itself over the past year. This has been going on for weeks without trauma to the soft tissue. My PCP literally said "Huh cool I've not seen that before. Maybe it's livedo reticularius? " and then walked out. Suggestions?

This pattern can be caused by heat application over
long periods or higher temperatures.

You may have saved me from another massive series of blood tests. I'm autoimmune and have a blood disorder so the next steps would have been another round of blood work. I looked up what you mentioned and the images were pretty exact to what I'm seeing and because of pain issues I utilize my heat pad for a couple of hours every day. Thank you!
