Poor circulation? Something like Reynaud's Syndrome?

it when you have been still for a while? if so its the veinous blood pooling. thsi is normal! wiggle your toes and itll start moving up your legs

They could still be ulcers, essbee, even if they're not mahoosive. They could also be part of the same problem as the purple feet.

I'd see the GP if I were you, rather than trust some hairy handed truckers on the internet who can't see your legs! It may not be Reynauds, and the GP may be able to treat it.

Given the ulcers as well, I think you should get it checked out.
