I noticed a red/purple netlike pattern on my legs and arms. I have just been diagnosed with SLE and I have a cold at the moment. I looked it up and the internet called it Livedo Reticularis. When I searched for it in relation to lupus it came up with something about being associated with antiphospholipid antibodies... I had Bloods done about 3 weeks ago... Should I be worried?
Always call a Dr.
Ask your doctor, Don’t scare yourself with looking things up on the web.
I have overlap syndrom, AS, Lupus, RA etc. Try to not "Freak " with each new sympton. I still do once in awile. I am black and blue everywhere..arms, legs, etc. still trying to figure why.

Hi. I have lupus overlap syndrome as well as Antiphospholipid syndrome. It means your blood is 'sticky' Tends to give migraine like symptoms and sometimes vasculitis. The Dr prescribed daily aspirin to thin the blood. I hope it works out well for you. And yes I still freak out over everything too.

- Appearance: It shows as a mottled, netlike, reddish-blue pattern on the skin, often on the legs
- Causes: It can be triggered by cold temperatures, changes in blood circulation, or as a side effect of certain medications
- Severity: It can be harmless and temporary, but Show Full Answer
