Hi im a 25 year old male. I had a distal radius fracture and had plates and screws put in about 5 years ago. The veins in my hand and wrist have got progressively worse (more visible and protruding) compared with the wrist that has not been operated on, and are beginning to look quite unsightly. I was wondering if this is common and if there is any need for concern. Also, is this something that Sclerotherapy could help.

Great question! Eyelid vessels can be treated with a KTP (532nm) laser depending on location and size. I know you couldn't provide a good picture, but it seems like it may be worth to have someone look at the vessels to see if they would be amenable to treatment. You will have to wear metal...
Either sclerotherapy or cosmetic laser has potential for hyperpigmentation.I recommend that you use some topicals to reduce the likelihood of hyperpigmentation with Sclerovase and Scleroquin plus.H Karamanoukian MD FACS

Post sclerotherapy follow up is necessary and sometimes drainage of retained coagulum is key.Recommend topical Sclerovase and Scleroquin plus and drainage of retained coaguum.H Karamanoukian MD FACScertified vein specialist from ABVLM
