Petechia on feet and legs when standing
Hi, When I stand for extended hours, my feet swell and I get petechia on my feets and calf’s. My work requires me to stand and walk a lot, but once I feel itching on my lower extremities, I know that the spots have started. They start as single spots then join to form patches. The skin does not peel but the feet are edematous. The spots take 2 to 3 days to clear and the swelling subsides the next day with rest. I get the same when I travel by plane for long hours. I Doppler and no DVT seen
