What Causes Spots On The Lower Leg Post A Bypass Surgery?
I have several spots on my lower right leg on the front of it, that appear to look like ingrown hair follicles, but heal leaving a dark subcutaneous area. I have noticed other spots on other areas of my leg and torso, but in much fewer areas. I have had cellulitis in the area of my LRL a couple of times in years past. It is also the area that a vein was taken about 15 months ago for heart bypass surgery. The curious thing is, these spots didn t appear until the past couple of months.
