Kristin_Grace
My derm over injected my vein causeing it to explode & the sclerotherapy solution got under my skin. He didn't tell me any of this at the time. He injected me w/ another injection after returning to the room 20 min later. I asked what he was putting in my leg & he said an anti inflammatory to keep the swelling down. Told me I may get a little skin break in a week and to put a bandaid over it. A week later the area was black and felt like leather. Then shortly after that, the area became concaved
