Remember these important questions when deciding whether to see your doctor: Has the varicose vein become swollen, red, very tender, or warm to the touch?

  • If yes, see your doctor.
  • If not, are there sores or a rash on the leg or near the ankle with the varicose vein, or are there circulation problems in your feet?
  • If yes, see your doctor.

If not, continue to follow the self-care tips above the tissue around the treated vein. This can cause numbness in small areas of skin, burning, or a change in sensation around the surgical scar. The most serious, but rare, complication of surgery is the creation of a deep vein blood clot that may travel to the lungs and heart.
