This started showing up on my leg a couple weeks ago. It's spreading throughout my leg now. My leg is not swollen or tender or red....or any of the other symptoms of blood clots. Just this weird pattern on my leg.

What do you think???

yes. I am going through celluitis right now from a small break to the skin. Think back if you had a skin break that could have introduced a bactirial infection to your body. It is nothing to play with and can be life threatening.

Here is some additional info that I located. The picture on this site looks very similar to your picture. See if any of the info in the article relates to you. I also noted on another site that the blotchy skin could be related to you being cold and something else - sorry for this . . . aging . . . http://blotchyskin.hubpages.com/hub/What-Causes-Blotchy-Skin-on-Legs

PS - I would have it checked out especially if it is a circulation problem like I read on a website.
