Developed a Hard Lump After Schlerotherapy
asked 1 year ago by sandy1962 in UK

Question viewed 263 times
I had a larger vein injected (schlero) & developed a hard lump on the back of my thigh. This was lanced but 2 wks later the lump has not disappeared. Will it eventually go? This was my 1st session so reluctant to return for 2nd session due June 9th. Thanks.

This is common and not of concern but...
I strongly recommend you be on compression stockings to minimize this next time. This coagulum (which can be tender to touch) is from blood being trapped in the superficial vein when the vein collapsed from treatment. It is usually seen when reticular or varicose veins are treated, rather than when smaller spider veins are treated.

Lump after sclerotherapy
After a clot is extracted a firm lump can persist for weeks. In order for you to feel more secure, you should await resolution of your concern and then proceed ahead.
