Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
This looks to be a typical condition called idiopathic ( reason is not known) thrombo-phlebitis.
This is an idiopathic condition and self-limiting meaning heals on its own.
This can be due to an autoimmune disease.
The treatment can be given in the form of anti-oxidants, steroids as per Doctor's advise.
