Leg marks

Looks like a cluster of telangiectasias (spider veins) to me. Smaller than varicose veins and they sit on the top surface of the skin. I used to be a PA for a group consultant dermatologists. But this is only my best guess.

No not raised or rough. Just unsightly!

My partner has them on one of his legs, one large one right across the back which appeared after he stepped awkwardly on a kerb and tweaked his ankle. The doc told him it will never go away.

Are they slightly raised / rough feeling? Could be a localised vasculitis?
