What Causes Red Rashes On The Lower Legs?

I had heavy red rash on my lower legs last summer after flying to Rome. I attributed it to long flight and sitting. Today I rode 2 and1/2 hours in the car and tonight the same rash is around my ankles and legs! What is going on and should I see a physician?

According to your complaints it could be pigmented purpuric dermatoses due to prolonged standing and sitting. I would recommend you to consult a doctor for the same.
