Superficial vein thrombophlebitis
Superficial vein thrombophlebitis is vein inflammation due to a blood clot located just below the skin’s surface. The clot causes pain, irritation, and may hinder blood flow. Superficial vein thrombophlebitis is generally caused by an injury to the vein and appears in veins where blood flows slower than normal – such as varicose veins. Treatment options include anti-inflammatory medication and warm compresses.
