Look up Stasis Dematatis on the internet. This will give you a better explanation.

Gerry,

I read online about the Statis Dermatatis. I don't have swelling. Although i am not sure if the pain that gets worse when standing or the dull ache I feel is from the neuropathy or from this Statis. Mine is not bumpy or cobblestone looking skin and I don't have skin sores, I guess this would come in due time.

I have problems with varicose veins, but the 2 symmetrical discolorations in my ankles are in the areas where there are no signs of overt veins.

What treatment did you have for this condition? It says online that it is related to heart problem....
