It is advisable to have a specialist examine the appearance of a vein that is red, warm, and painful to the touch, especially if a hardened cord forms under the skin: these can be signs of thrombophlebitis. The right professional is the angiologist or the vascular surgeon.
Thrombophlebitis is the inflammation of a vein, almost always in the legs, associated with the formation of a clot inside it. It can affect superficial or deeper veins.
Why not postpone the examination: in addition to the local discomfort, in some cases the problem can involve deep veins, which requires timely care. In the case of these signs, a professional evaluation helps clarify the extent of the situation and protect circulation.
