The brown spots on your legs could be bruises. It could also be blood vessles that have ruptured from an injury or accident that you did not realize happened, like hitting your leg on the coffee table. Check with your doctor if the problem gets worse. It could mean that you have a blood clot.

This may be because of certain vitamin deficiency or it may be because of the fungal infections which can be happened out of our daily wearing dress or from the socks that we put on the legs when we wear shoos. It is better to apply an antifungal lotions on the legs and keep a habit of using fresh dress.
