s/l mark-type pigmentation?
Subject: s/l mark-type pigmentation?

On the physical exam in the category of extremities, the doctor says "The patient has bilateral chronic stasis changes in the lower extremities. There is associated [s/l mark-type profigmentation] with no edema, erythema or warmth"

I'm assuming the "profigmentation" is maybe pigmentation that he just stumbled on but I'm not positive on that. The patient was being seen for bilateral lower extremity recurrent cellulitis.

Any ideas?
