I am 54 yr old female. My legs are becoming reddish ankle upward when I stand & work in kitchen. The reddish color is fading when I sit & stretch my legs. The problem is since last one year. I am taking homeo medicine. Now the skin is looking black & itching. . Please advise.

Your description fits with venous insufficiency. You may consider seeing a Vascular surgeon as severe venous insufficiency can be corrected. Otherwise use TED stockings when you are standing, ensure you keep your legs elevated for 30 minutes three times a day, calf strengthening exercises for 30 minutes a day.
