It started with red patches near ankle and later became black. Now it's from ankle to knee joint. Took medicines for Vericose veins in homeopathy. But no sweeping like regular pictures shown in Vericose. It's black spots. Over weight and BP for 10 yrs but this started when wt was normal. Consulted Dermalogist , advised to put legs little above. It's earlier was itching now that's also not there. Want to know what confirms the Vericose veins. Vein dia as per ultrasound was 8-10 mm. Surgery is the only answer? Black spots are permanent?
