Hi,

Based on the history you seem to have superficial thrombophlebitis which is an inflammatory condition of the veins due to a blood clot just below the surface of the skin.

There is nothing to worry about it, this condition usually goes away within two weeks.

However, you may apply warm compress to the affected area, wearing support stockings can also help reduce swelling. You may also take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as ibuprofen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
