Vasculitis is a rare but potentially serious condition that causes inflammation in blood vessels, sometimes mimicking common vein issues like leg pain, swelling, or bulging veins. This blog explores the key differences between vasculitis and chronic vein disease, outlining symptoms, causes, and diagnostic tools that help distinguish the two. Readers will learn when to suspect vasculitis, how it’s treated, and why a visit to a vein specialist is crucial for getting answers. If your leg discomfort doesn't improve, Center for Vein Restoration’s expert team is here to help you find clarity and relief.
If you’ve noticed red, brown, or purplish patches on your lower legs or ankles, it could be more than a skin issue; it may signal poor circulation caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). This progressive vein condition occurs when damaged leg veins are unable to return blood to the heart, resulting in leg swelling, skin changes, and potentially, painful ulcers. Left untreated, CVI can worsen and increase your risk for complications like infection or blood clots. Learn how a vein specialist at Center for Vein Restoration can identify the cause of your leg discoloration and offer effective, minimally invasive treatment options to restore healthy blood flow and skin appearance.
If your varicose veins are itchy, it’s not just a nuisance; it could be a sign of chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that disrupts healthy blood flow.

You'll also learn about effective, minimally invasive options available at Center for Vein Restoration to stop the itch at its source.
