Suggest Treatment For Lumps On Lower Legs

Hi there, For the last two years I have been getting these large lumps on my lower legs. they are about the size of a 50 cent coin. They feel like a painfull bruise. Sometimes they flare up and go red in colour and sometimes they are still under the skin but have no colour. They will sometimes stay there for months at a time. Kylee

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Varicose Vein of the legs since 2 yrs.The redness of the lumps is due to the engorged veins from the Varicosity.The color goes off when the engorgement of veins is relived may by less stress on the legs.
Treatment-
Would suggest you to Consult Vascular Surgeon and assess the case for further treatment as follows-
Get Color doppler dual image USG Scan, to find the extent of the Varicose Veins and if DVT -Deep Vein Thrombosis-is the cause of it along with accompanied incompetancy of the Valves of the leg Veins.
a-Conservative-Non-Surgical Treatment-with Veno-Stockings / Cap Daflon /Trendlenberg Exercise to tone up the Calf muscles./Vit E Cap-
b-EVLT-Endo-Venus Laser Treatment -with or without embmbolisation of the veins /or spring treatment for reducing the Varicose Veins.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
