Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It seems that your daughter may be having phlebitis.

It is an inflammation of superficial vein underneath skin.

Cause might be minor trauma.

Oral antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs may be given.

Thrombophob oint. may be applied.

You take her to consult dermatologist.

Thanks.
