Can Vein Disease Cause Itchy Skin?
Itchy skin resulting from vein disease can be attributed to various factors, including poor circulation and the accumulation of blood in the veins. When veins struggle to efficiently transport blood back to the heart, it can lead to discomfort such as itching. Additionally, conditions like chronic venous insufficiency may contribute to skin-related symptoms. To understand the specific causes and receive expert guidance, schedule a consultation with a StrideCare expert physician.
