I am post Sclerotherapy a little over a month. I am trying to look up what "Hemosiderin" or "staining" looks like because I think I have this in one of my large veins injected. I cant find any pictures, so I posted my own. From my picture you can't tell but I also seem to have stagnant blood in the vein as well. Does this look like "staining" and should I consult my Physician to have the blood removed that is sitting there making the vein more puffy, than it was prior to the injection?
Answer: Hemosiderin following sclerotherapy may last months or years.

Answer: Staining Generally coagulum that is a result of sclerotherapy is removed within a two week period following treatment. However, what you are seeing should resolve over time, about 6months - 1year. If you still see staining after a year treatment with a laser may be helpful.

Answer: Hemosiderin staining after sclerotherapy We use a regimen of two topical cremes called Sclerovase and Scleroquin plus to help reduce the hyperpigmentation that can result with sclerotherapy. We also use an oral supplement called Scler-X, aka PIH Relief Complex. Sometimes we use a YAG laser if there is residual pigmentation after 6 months.

TREATMENT FOR YOU

Answer: Local treatment and time. Following sclerotherapy, the treated veins can clot or blood can escape from the treated veins and form around these veins. Both of these can lead to the hemosiderin deposits. The majority of these will dissolve spontaneously over time and could take up to one year. Local care to the area with warm compresses will help. Also, you should return to your treating physician who can evacuate the clotted blood under local anesthesia with a small needle. This releases the trapped blood to lighten the area. If all of this should fail, then there are topical lasers which may help. From your picture, your problem should resolve with local care and evacuations.
