Hi,
How are you? Hemosiderin is a yellow-brown, granular, iron-containing pigment derived from the breakdown of hemoglobin. Hemosiderin staining or hemosiderosis, is a brown or rusty discoloration of the skin caused by buildup of hemosiderin in the interstitial fluid such as found in venous hypertension. However, there is not a good way to remove hemosiderin stain especially from the leg. Have this checked by your doctor for proper management. Take care and regards.
I have the same discoloration on both my lower legs for about 3 years now, and all the doctors cannot even diagnosis me, however one doctor thinks it might me hemosiderin, any help is greatly appreciated, I am so upset, thank you so much.
Thank you,
Barbara.
