A member asked:
Diagnosed svt greater saphenous 2 weeks. the original area is better but redness is slowly going up vein. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The description: of redness going up the vein seems abnormal. If you have had superficial venous thrombosis in the past this could possibly be a recurrence, however it could also be a sign of cellulitis. I recommend getting it seen quickly for follow up care and examination. There may be a different treatment plan that is needed!
