Adult, Female, Leg (Edit search)

On the page below, you will see pictures and links to information about the many conditions that can affect the legs in adults. For younger adults, bug bites and allergic reactions, like poison ivy, are common. Sometimes, allergic reactions that involve large parts of the body, known as hives (urticaria), can significantly involve the legs. Eczema and psoriasis are long-standing inflammatory conditions that can involve the legs. As we age, more problems can plague the legs. Varicose veins are often seen in older adults and are due to the inability of the leg veins to drain blood well. When the damage progresses to involve deeper veins, a skin change called stasis dermatitis can develop that eventually leads to stasis ulcers.
