What are the blotches on my legs?

I have varicose veins pretty badly in my calves, thighs, and the backs of my knees. I have noticed that while taking a hot shower my legs appear a bright pink/purple color(this only happens in the hot shower) but I also see lighter sort of peach blotches here and there and I'm wondering if anyone else has these and what they are?
