I had a varicose vein removed in my leg almost 2 years ago. After it was removed, I noticed a new cluster of veins that looks similar to a bruise. It's been 2 years now, and it never went away. I recently had an ultrasound on it, and the doctor said that the vein is open, but there is no reflux, so it can't be treated. Is there anyway to treat this either cosmetically or medically? It appears darker in person than in pictures. It's unsightly and I don't like wearing skirts or shorts now.
