Is A Lump On Top Of The Varicose Veins A Cause For Concern?
I have varicose veins in my left leg and today while at the gym I hit the inside of my left leg right next to my knee on a weight machine. Immediately a hard, lump formed and it is slightly bruised and it runs right over the top of one of my varicose veins. Should I be concerned?
Hi. Thanks for your query. The lump must be a hematoma if it has formed immediately on a hit. You should have pressed hard on it for 5 to 7 minutes. Have a compression bandage. Per se no need of any medicines. Review after a few days And do not worry unless there is increase in swelling , pain or redness.
