What Causes a Leg Rash to Develop from Vein Disease?
A leg rash can develop from vein disease due to the compromised blood flow in the legs. When veins fail to efficiently return blood to the heart, fluid can accumulate in the legs, causing increased pressure in the tiny blood vessels of the skin. This pressure can result in inflammation, skin irritation, and ultimately the development of a rash.
