Hello
Thanks for the query
Whenever the varicose veins start itching and the skin surrounding it gets red it means that it require intervention. I strongly advice you to approach a vascular surgeon as soon as possible to undergo stripping of the veins. This will prevent varicose ulcers from forming.
I hope I was of help
