Hi all! Looking for advice, for the last 2-3 months ive had intense itching/burning on the side of my foot, the veins are sticking out as you can see in the photo. My left foot has no visible veins at all its only my right foot and only in that one place, theres no rash, cuts or weird marks its just insanely itchy and keeps me awake. Ive tried freeze sprays, anti itch creams, aloe vera ive iced it ive taken anti histamines and get little to no relief. Ive looked up Varicrose veins and my veins dont look like any ive seen in photos they look normal. I cant get a Doctors/Nurse appointment for a month. Please can anyone help im so miserable!

It could be the start of varicose eczema or phlebitis. Do try to see a doctor you may need more investigations. In the mean time try to keep that leg elevated . You could try a skin cream with an oat base but there isnt much else you can do other than keeping it cool. Those socks look a bit itchy…can you wear some cotton socks?

eiher PHD or Pad. signs of blocked blood flow in lower limbs , from high HDL load , blocked arteries and return blood flow. This also cause itching so severe that it cannot be controlled. just a guestimation.. unless it’s due to a injury to ur foot or ankle. see ur dr soon.
