Does Anyone With RA Get Large Red Blotches On Their Legs?

I have the red blotches which look like spider veins (which I used to occasionally get) at first, then they change to a light brown color. I asked my Rheumatologist about it and he told me when people age (I'm 69), this happens to their skin. Not buying it, I'm thinking to be referred to Dermatology. They are not going away. Plus, I have recently been itching all over. I calm it with benadryl and lotion. Guess it's time to see Dermatology. πŸ€”

Yes I do. It looks like a spider web on my legs. Very red and comes and goes. No clue what this is.

Yes, this is a thing that I have had for many years. The first thought from my daughter and my Doctor was Ring worm that's what it looked like, but after a visit to the hospital and a few blood tests it was found out to be the effects of RA; I have had RA since my late 20s, I am aged 79 these blotches that appear on my legs and arms have an unbearable itch but over the years I have learned to put up with it
