Strange mottling on arms

[Musicteach]

I have exactly the same and no one seems particularly bothered by it, so I am assuming that it is just one of the aspects of this condition! Hope you are doing well in other ways.

Can it be treated

[annlister]

I have this on arms. Legs. And even body. I have MCTD. Sjogrens. And RA. And had this mottling since a child. I am 64 and still have it. Worse if I go out in sun and also get that strange tingling sensation anywhere on my body and limbs and sometimes a numbness too Have a big problem with internal scar tissue after lots of ops from removal of tubes and ovaries. Large kidney op primarily to remove kidney due to large stones but the full op couldn't be done due to kidney being adhered to spleen. Abscesses in lungs being drained. Appendices removal. Cyst removed in right breast. Blood transfusions and Cva full blown stroke. Been through a lot and still have a lot of problems. With bladder and kidneys mainly Sciatica. Planter food problems. IBS. And lower back pain and migraines. I still get out and about and I care for my brother who has extreme bipolar 1 with schizo affective disorder which is extremely distressful and traumatic and he gets little respite from the episodes. He is 58. He is quite nasty during an episode also. He is in hospital a lot also which gives me a break but getting back and forward visiting by bus or taxi is tiring as I don't drive. I get no help or support from family . It's very hard and my saving grace is my faith. I am whining I know but just felt like writing down what my life is like as I am having a really hard time at the moment and would welcome any advice on how to cope with my brother and how to cope with not getting a break or holiday or respite
