Is it normal to be extremely bruised with have hard lumps after sclerotherapy for spider veins? (Photo)

It is common to have bruising and swelling post sclerotherapy and you should be wearing compression for a few weeks to help limit any brown discoloration that can form.  I suggest if you are in extreme pain to please speak to your physician or get a second opinion.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Bruising is common after sclerotherapy."Hard lumps" implies that veins larger than spider veins were injected with sclerosant solutions.If you have concerns, see the physician who did the injections.Dr Karamanoukian

Hello. Bruising and pain are common post sclerotherapy. Please wear prescription compression support hose,20-30 mmHg on a daily basis, removing at bedtime. This should improve your symptoms. You may wish to discuss you concerns further with the treating physician.

Your bruising is not uncommon after sclerotherapy, especially during the first 3-5 days after the session.  Arnica helps to speed up the healing process.  Compression might help the next time you have injections.  It is important to avoid the sun in these areas as you are healing.Take care,Dr Chang

The pictures that you posted look to be normal post sclerotherapy findings.  Post sclerotherapy the areas may look worse before looking better. You seem to have a lot of bruising and compression would help.  The duration of compression varies.  I recommend 48 hours but that could vary if there is a lot of bruising. If you are anxious about your results then you need to speak with the treating physician not the nurse.
