Rosacea, Varicose Veins, and Pigmented Spots

Venous disease is a chronic condition that will progress over the years.

In addition to the dilated veins protruding in the thighs or calves, the appearance of (micro-) varicose veins drawing reddish or bluish patterns on the skin will gradually be noticed.

The treatment of varicose disease involves sclerotherapy or stripping (or phlebectomy: surgical removal of the affected vein trunk).

The treatment of varicose veins involves sclerosing them either chemically (injections) or thermally (laser).

The absence of treatment for this disease sometimes leads to consequences such as embolisms or ulcers.

Prevention remains essential to slow the progression of varicose disease.
