Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Most probably this is a rare case of '' idiopathic thrombophebitis, meaning- there is inflammation of a particular vein; the cause is always hidden, no one knows why this happens.
Fortunately , this is a self-limiting disorder and needs no specific treatment. Please do not fiddle with . Get this confirmed by your treating Doctor .
