Identify this blotchy skin.

Blotchy skin. Is this familiar to anyone?
My partner has what on first glance is a rash on the calf of one (only) of her legs, but it's not a rash - it's more of a painless, non-itchy discoloration in the pattern of a lattice which appears to follow the path of veins. The lattice lines are brown while the areas inside the lines appear to be normal. Google fails me (or more likely, I fail Google). Any suggestions as to what it might be?
