Parkes Weber Syndrome
Parkes Weber syndrome is characterized by vascular abnormalities known as capillary malformations and arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), which are present from birth. The capillary malformations increase blood flow near the surface of the skin. They usually look like large, flat, pink stains on the skin, and because of their color are sometimes called "port-wine stains." In people with Parkes Weber syndrome, capillary malformations occur together with multiple micro-AVFs, which are tiny abnormal connections between arteries and veins that affect blood circulation. These AVFs can be associated with life-threatening complications including abnormal bleeding and heart failure.

That woman’s hand in the first photo. Seeing these kinds of things makes me so grateful I don’t have to live with that kind of ailment. |

Re: Parkes Weber Syndrome
No, looks like one of those compression wraps but she's got it rolled up sitting there so it doesn't unroll and fall. Probably unwrapped her leg for the picture. I'm pretty sure she looks about 10 or 11 years old, I doubt there would be any sex change operations at that age.
