Question

I've noticed that when I have to stand for long periods, my feet start swelling, and I get these little red spots on my feet and calves. It seems to happen pretty quickly after I start feeling some itchiness down there. The spots start off small but then kind of join together to form larger patches. My skin doesnt peel, but my feet do get pretty swollen. It usually takes a couple of days for the spots to go away, and by the next day, the swelling decreases if I rest. I also get this when I fly for long hours. I had a Doppler test done, and they said there's no DVT. What could be causing this? And is there anything I should be doing to prevent it?
