Thanks Chuck!
I am still learning. I may have to add this info to the caption area.. or do something similar.
Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) represents the persistent late stage of borreliosis in which Borrelia species may survive for decades.
Occasionally, B-cell lymphoma may develop in these patients, and additional neoplastic complications such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have been reported once each over the past 60 years.

Thanks for the pics, Tincup! I found my feet and lacey skin. I took pics to show my doctor. I just didn't know what it was, until you helped me out!

Thanks TC, This has been extremely helpful. I now think I have purpura. A few places just popped up on me a couple of weeks ago that look just like it.
Also I have some weird looking places on my legs, been there since I have been ill and haven't showed them to my doctor. Look like faded bruises, sort of. Don't know a good description for them. And don't know what they mean.

You are very welcome Dakotas. I'm still laughing about the Romper Room lady not calling the name Dakotas when they looked through their magic mirror.
Liz...
Not that I am happy you have livedo.. but good it helped you figure it out.
I actually had a doctor look at me one time and point to the livedo I had and say... "What the h*** is that?"
Very comforting to hear those words from a doctor.
