Itching And Burning Sensation In The Ankles And Calf Muscles. Bruised Vein. Anything To Be Concerned?

Afternoon ,

I regularly have an itchy burning senseation on my ankles and calves, once the vein has burst the sensation is relieved. This has been happening since I was in my early thiries, now in my late fifties.Recently I ecperinced this sensation on my upper right leg and no whave a brown bruise where the vein burst. I am concerned as I previously visited the Dr because of an almost blocked feeling in the veins, I assume, in the groin. The Dr could not justify any further action to refer me for tests to find out the cause of this sensation. Should I be more insistant as to what the cause is. How do I go about finding out?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The itching and burning sensation that you have is likely to be due to paresthesias or local skin problem like eczema or dermatits. A direct examination is integral part of such a diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
