Livedo racemosa is a skin condition that presents as a reddish or purplish, net-like discoloration with an irregular or branching pattern. Unlike livedo reticularis, which often occurs in response to cold and improves with warming, livedo racemosa is typically persistent and may indicate an underlying medical issue. This condition is linked to vascular abnormalities, including blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis), antiphospholipid syndrome, or other autoimmune or clotting disorders.
