I've recently been diagnosed with depression and rust in leg's. Yes, that's RUST in leg's.
It's called Schamberg's disease. Schamberg's disease is caused by leaky blood vessels near the surface of the skin, capillaries, which allow red blood cells to slip through into the skin. The red blood cells in the skin then fall apart and release their iron which causes a rust color, this accounts for the orange tint of the rash. There's no cure and nothing to worry about.
I've also got dry skin on my hands. I'm waiting on the Old Man dribbling bit, then I'll have Rust, Dry Rot and Rising Damp !
