Symptoms Of Varicose Veins

Itchy Legs

Venous stasis dermatitis is a condition that causes varicose veins to become itchy. As blood pools in the venous system and the pressure builds, venous blood can after some time leak out into the skin. As a result, not enough oxygen and blood can reach the skin. The skin over the vein becomes itchy and red, and sores that may ooze fluid can form. As the condition worsens, it becomes very itchy, which can be uncomfortable for the patient. The condition is due to circulatory problems. The one-way valves that pump blood back to a patient's heart and lungs stop working properly, leading to venous insufficiency, the pooling of the blood in the legs, and bulging varicose veins.
