 [ Symptoms ] have a stabbing pain in my right ear… thought a spider crawled inside [ Disease ] i am assuming the splotches go away eventually after your shower if so it sounds like you are describing a normal situation whenever a person takes a warm or hot shower the skin is blood vessels dilate from the heat this causes two noticeable effects first dilated vessels within the skin become much more visible second when blood vessels dilate there is less pressure inside them less pressure means it is harder for the heart to pump that blood all the way up from the feet to the chest so when you see those blotchy patches on the lower extremities after a shower you are usually just seeing areas of dilated blood vessels this is not a dangerous situation like a blood clot or anything it is a normal phenomenon that occurs to a lot of people when they take a hot shower it is especially noticeable in fair skinned people because the blood vessels are much easier to see wishing you well
