Suggest Treatment For Dark Skin Discolouration On The Leg

Needs work up and management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Lower limbs extremities color discoloration upon waking up which self resolve with no associated history of swelling, infection, heart disease, venous thrombosis, medications history needs work up and examination to find out the possible cause.
At age of 75 one should look for any vascular pathology in lower limb blood vessels. Claudications, atheromatous plaques and vascular insufficiencies could be some of the possibilities to rule out.
I would like you to visit a doctor, let them run some labs like baseline work up, limbs doppler studies for veins and arteries and metabolic screening to correlate it with possible cause. Till then make sure the bedding is adequately warm and comforting, don't use any pillow between your legs and keep changing postures frequently in sleep and see if it helps.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
Regards
Khan
