I Had UGS Followed by Regular Sclerotherapy and Now I Have a Large (Hand Sized) Reddened Area onKnee? (photo)

February 7, 2013
Asked By:Lorsey in Fayetteville, NC

There was moderate burning area when injected. I have never experience that type of burning before. This was 8 months ago and it is still red. Does not appear to be matting when compared to pictures online. I was told this would fade but like I said it has been 8 months. My left leg was my worst at the beginning of a year of 4 large deep veins lasered and then the UGS started. Both legs were treated. My left leg looks worse than it did when we started. Is there hope?
