Should I be worried about this mark …? (Pic)

Hi there

looking for guidance from anyone who might recognise this.

Dappled mark on my thigh. Been there for at least a month. Appears the way skin can appear when very cold (but I’m not). It’s not raised, it’s marks under the skin. It’s also not a bruise or from a knock.

Thank you so much. I dont want to waste a doctor’s precious time.

YANBU - get things checked out
YABU - it’s normal (age? Mid 40s)

Levido reticularis.
worth getting checked out but very often no cause is found and not worrying

From the photo, they look like stretch marks.

Is that not what we used to call oven beef legs back in the 70s?

Have been using a hot water bottle?

Corn beef legs?! Oh no!

No hot water bottle - it’s permanent - but it’s exactly that pattern.

Definitely not stretch marks - they are elsewhere on me!
