I just got diagnosed with livedo reticularis. From what I gather, it’s basically a blood flow issue in the capillaries linked to autoimmunity—which makes sense since I'm already dealing with Hashimoto's. It shows up as these permanent white and pink mottled patches on my shins.
Right now, I’ve only got one small spot, but my doctor warned me it could spread to cover my entire shin, my whole leg, or even pop up elsewhere on my body. Honestly, looking at the photos online has me terrified... 😢
Has anyone here dealt with this? Is there any way to actually fix it? Maybe laser therapy or something?
Is there anything I can do to stop it from spreading or showing up on the other leg?
