Hi there. I found your post while searching for answers as to why my knees are purple and of all the pics I saw yours was the closest to what mine look like. So I was wondering if u found out the cause of yours. One person told me it was varicose veins but it doesn't look like any that I have seen. Here's a pic of mine.

Hi just a question do you have Reynolds. I did ask the doctor he said um , few weeks ago I cut my knee on a rose , and for that few weeks half my knee was pink ,🤷‍♀️ Sitting knee looks normal just mottled stand up dark purple, nothing to do with varicose veins I’m sure , not much help am I , iF you find out let me know xx
