[|Human|] Age 60 yo female. I have terrible varicose veins and a couple of days ago, I noticed my ankle was very itchy. Today very red area and sensitive to touch, almost like a burn. Wondering what I can do or just leave it alone. This is on the outside of my ankle where I have a lot of superficial blue, purple veins.
[|AI|]  Hi, I understand your concern. 1. Itchy ankle is due to non circulating blood in the lower legs as you have noticed varicose veins. 2. Anthologist to consult as soon as possible and to run Doppler ultrasound of legs blood vessels to locate the blockage and treat adequately. 3. For the moment, I advise to:- keep your legs elevated as much as you can-when sleeping, elevate you legs more than head direction to help blood move-apply heparin cream locally-take divine to shrink the blood vessels Hope this helps.
