A: Itching from sclerotherapy

It is a bit long, but it is normal. I would recommend that you don't use any soaps or lotions with perfumes in them. I have a feeling this is causing quite a bit of the problem. Stick to mild soap - like Dove - and mild lotion - like Lubriderm. Apply hydrocortisone, available over the counter, to any particularly itchy spots, after a bit of cool water is applied. You can also take over the counter allergy pills. But mostly, don't scratch!

The Nurse Said Dont Get the Bandage Wet After Sclerotherapy, Why is That? i did vericose vein sclerotherapy and the new told me not to get the bandage wet why is that?

A: Bandages after sclerotherapy

I don't use compression hose or bandages or wraps after sclerotherapy as it's not necessary for the small veins. However, if you were having larger veins treated, then wraps are sometimes used for compression purposes, and to prevent bruising and swelling. And if bandages get wet, the compression factor goes away and the bandage loosens. This is why I'm sure they told you to keep them dry. However, just call the office that performed your treatment and ask for more specifics.

Is Sclerotherapy a Possibility for Broken Penis Veins? I'm a 28 year old male whose had some broken veins in my penis for some time. I'm circumcised. The superficial dorsal vein is healthy and normal, but other veins in the skin on my penis have been widening. Previously invisible tributary veins/blood vessels have gradually become visible, as they are connected to the damaged veins. I was fine living with some of this but since it's spreading I'm wondering if it's possible to stop the process.

A: Consult a urologist first

While in theory most small veins can be treated with sclerotherapy, in this very sensitive region, I would recommend you visit a urologist first to rule out any other possible issues. Assuming the urologist is fine with this type of a treatment and doesn't find anything else to be concerned about, I would think it would be ok. But I would recommend both physicians speak before you schedule any treatments.
