These look venous lesions!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this image.
I have reviewed it and this is suggestive of venous ulcers. This is caused by poor blood circulation. I will encourage you to always do mild physical activity so as to improve blood circulation to the limbs and prevent these. Also, always try to massage the limbs as well.
I wish you well and let me know how this is doing!
