What Causes a Leg Rash to Develop from Vein Disease?

A leg rash can develop from vein disease due to the compromised blood flow in the legs. When veins fail to efficiently return blood to the heart, fluid can accumulate in the legs, causing increased pressure in the tiny blood vessels of the skin. This pressure can result in inflammation, skin irritation, and ultimately the development of a rash.

What are the Other Symptoms of Vein Disease?

A feeling of heaviness or fatigue

Restlessness

Leg cramping

Swollen legs or ankles

Relief from pain when legs are elevated

Very friendly, competent, professional and empathetic staff and doctor. Detailed explanation every step of my procedures. All of my questions were answered.

Best doctor office ever! Great doctor! From the top down everyone is friendly, kind, helpful! They smile, have a sense of humor, answer questions, enjoy their jobs, just awesome!

Wonderful attention, I have spent time visiting doctors here in the United States and it is the first time that a doctor takes the time to explain to me in detail and answer every question I asked, his assistant who helped me with the translation, super attentive to everything, really I give it 10 stars instead of 5, very good service.

The staff was professional and pleasant. I was seen on time. The nurse practitioner made sure that I understood the diagnosis and treatment protocol before leaving the exam room.

Everyone at this office was very nice. The woman that ran the test on my legs was so down to earth and friendly. That means a lot. And the Doctor is very good at explaining your condition. She is a nice doctor. Thank you.

The people in the office are fantastic. They are all very friendly, warm, and professional. I appreciate how they explained what they were doing and why they were doing it.

Amazing place! PA was knowledgeable and made sure I got the answers I needed. Everyone one I had an interaction with was friendly and very knowledgeable and I couldn’t ask for a better experience from a Dr office!

It has been a very good experience for me. I feel better than I have in a long time. I only wish I had come in sooner. I would recommend them to anyone.

Very professional staff. I was seen in a timely manner. Everything was explained to me and they welcomed any questions I had. I’m very glad my primary physician referred me.

Each staff member was very professional and addressed all of my questions. Showed great compassion and set me at ease for the procedure. Also everything took place in a timely manner.

Had several visits and procedures done, highly recommend this place. The staff is wonderful the doctor is great.
