HI,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,your husband seems to suffer from-Varicose veins with discolored lumps in the calves.
And are due to Short Saphenous Venous Varicosity,which is caused by incompetant vein valves.
primary examination from a Surgeon and not the podiatrist is suggested,who would work up your case and would treat it according to its stage.
If need be, a Second opinion from your Vascular Surgeon would resolve your worry .
Color Doppler of the leg veins in the left calf,would resolve your worry.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Will appreciate writing your feedback review comments,to help the needy patients like you at HCM.
Good Day!!
