I am an early forties male and have had treatments for varicose veins this past year, and was hoping to also get a vein on my foot removed. I have been told that removing a vein from the top of the foot may result in nerve damage that may not resolve. This large vein bothers me cosmetically, and am hoping for more information to help quantify the risk. Thanks.

Answer: Removal of Foot Veins by Sclerotherapy Foot veins as illustrated in the photograph can be treated by Sclerotherapy. One treatment should be sufficient to remove it. After treatment, a compression stocking should be worn, the duration of which will depend upon the size of the vein; usually a few weeks is appropriate. It may require a few weeks to a few months for the body to completely remove this vein, so that it is not longer visible or palpable. This method of treatment should not be associated with any nerve injury.

Answer: Foot veins can be treated. Foot veins (dorsal foot veins) are a common problem and can usually be easily treated under local tumescent anesthesia by small incision removal (microphlebectomies). Larger dorsal foot veins can even be treated by endovenous laser and smaller veins by sclerotherapy. There are small nerves in the area and there is always the risk of nerve injury but it is only to a very localized area.

Answer: Microphlebectomy with sclerotherapy is the answer For these foot veins, I use a combination of foam sclerotherapy followed immediately by microphlebectomy. The risk for clots is very small and nerve injury for this part of the foot is also small. If there is sensory deficit, it will be a small area the size of a quarter. If you don't want to take that risk, don't get it done. This type of procedure shuold cost approximately $2000 if done by an experienced specialist.
