Livedo reticularis

Livedo reticularis is the lace-like discolouration of the skin, seen commonly on the legs, arms and other parts of the body. This is due to reduced blood flow to the skin and can be caused by conditions like viral infections (eg. parvovirus), cold environments and NSAIDs (eg. Ibuprofen). It can be short lived and harmless.
