Livedo Reticularis is an autonomic dysfunction causing spasms in the medium sized blood vessels. It causes NO burning or any type of pain. That being said, it can accompany other conditions that do cause pain, like SFN. Many people with autonimmune disease have Livedo reticularis.

Livedo is caused by many disorders.

Here is a list for example:

MrsD is exactly right...there are many causes. I should have worded my statement more clearly. In autonomic dysfunction, the condition is caused by spasms of the blood vessels. This is the most common cause and is often associated with autoimmune disease.

But there are certainly other causes of Livedo.
