Varicose veins, caused by faulty valves, can lead to swelling, skin discoloration, and ulcers, with treatment options ranging from compression stockings to advanced imaging and wound care.

Comprehensive Care for Swelling, Discoloration, and Ulcers with Advanced Treatment Options

Varicose veins are usually due to improperly functioning valves within the veins. The veins typically appear prominent or look raised. The condition can cause swelling of the legs, ankles and feet. The skin may become discolored due to leakage of blood into the surrounding tissues, and ulcers may form on the skin. Dr. Levick may advise use of compression stockings or other treatments.
