Schlerotheropy has made my surface veins worse. Can you please advise?

canonstandish
I have had two schlerotherapy sessions on my right leg for surface veins. When the first treatment was not successful, my doctor strengthened the solution, and really worked on me. Six or so weeks later, the surface veins are worse with one large red blob appearing. I have had a scan and have no problems in that regard.
