Hello, I had blue spider vein on my left calf. I went to a cosmetic surgeon in a respected hospital and had sclerotherapy done. The Dr. missed my vein and injected the solution in soft tissue. I was in intense pain and after 5 days when I removed the bandages, I had two large holes in my leg. It took 5 months for the holes to close and now I have severely discolored skin over about 2-3 inches of my calf with scarring underneath. Dr. says he will laser it. What can I do to help this fade?!
