Hi Seeley,

Sorry to hear you're not getting the support you need from the GP etc.

I was recently diagnosed with livedo reticularis by my scleroderma specialist rheumatologist. He said it's not something that is significantly worrying, and is normally controlled quite well by low dose aspirin daily, which is what he has prescribed me with. The hope is that this will also help with my Raynaud's symptoms, as the aspirin should help to increase the amount of blood reaching my extremities.

Hope this helps and that you get support where needed soon.

Thanks,

Sara
