Im always posting health questions for my father in hopes of finding out things that the hospital cannot tell us.
My father is 72, and overweight. Due to that, his feet are always swollen. But recently over the past few years, from about mid-shin length down about 4 inches, has turned reddish purple and has blister type bumps on it. The weird part about this situation is on the bottom where the color turns normal, it looks like a band, as in it looks like someone has tied a rubber band and only that section above his ankle to mid shin is like that. Doctors keep telling him that its bad circulation and it comes with old age and refuses to prescibe medicine, however none of his friends or same age group people have that. Someone please tell me whats going on?
