What could be the cause of tissue necrosis? I've had no previous sclerotherapy reaction with sotradecol

critter78
Months ago I had sclerotherapy for a small reticular vein/two small areas of spider veins (1x3 ,1x2) with 3ccs of 3% & diluted 3% sotradecol.I have had about 15 treatments with sotradecol in the last 20 years-no problems.This time I developed tissue necrosis & ulceration.Am now left with dark spots/scar pits.Doctor says that this happened with several patients-thinks the vendor mixed the solution wrong (but he diluted it in the office in front of me). Doctor unwilling to folow up. Suggestions?
