Hi,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you had severe burning and itching on right leg .Whether you got fever also? Fever indicate infection . In my opinion looking to your age and both limb involved one should consider for vascular deficiency,so got your angiography of both lower limb done to rule it out. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
