Hello
I have studied your case,
These symptoms could be due to vascular occlusion around leg.
Colour Doppler may help in diagnosis.
Another possibility of skin disease leading to discolouration.
You need to immediately consult your treating doctor and do required investigations.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
