Vein Doctor...: Superficial blood clots, typically found on the lower legs, are considered non life threatening and rarely lead to the much more devastating condition known as deep vein thrombosis or DVT. If the superficial veins become problematic relief can be found by consulting with either a vein specialist or surgeon. Many dermatologists are also trained to effectively treat and resolve your condition.
