Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Your problems are apparently due to inflammation of the leg veins (of the foot, running up to the groin region) , which has caused discoloration of the inner thigh and the pain in the shin. The condition is called Phlebitis. You will require a course of antibiotics and, if required, drugs which prevent clot formation.

However, your treating doctor is the BEST JUDGE, as he will be able to identity the exact cause after examining you.

So, consult your doctor at the earliest.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
