What Is The Cause For Blue Veins On The Leg After Appendix Burst?
My grandson had a burst appendix and spent some time in hospital. He now has blue veins on his legs showing through which he did not have prior to going into hospital. the veins are not raised but look wide not spider veins. I have taken him to the doctor but the said come back if the area gets larger. I seems to be going further up his legs. Do you know what this may be
