Hi, my skin on my legs has been changing over time, especially in the last 3 years, showing dark small areas. I am 35 years old, weigh 140 kg, and am 165 cm tall. What could be causing these skin changes and what should I do?

I am a 52-year-old woman who had cryoablation for typical atrial flutter and RF ablation for atypical atrial flutter, along with an ASD repair and an enlarged right atria and leaky tricuspid valve.
