General Surgeon 's  Response
I am doctor Fahim.
I welcome you to HCM and will help you with your Query . . .

I think you are talking about Varicose Veins?. Last week he also developed blood ooze from it which means he might have developed a Leg Ulcer, which is a complication of varicose vein and needs treatment.

Varicose vein, is treated by VASCULAR SURGEON. Treatment options include Ultrasound guided FOAM SCLEROTHERAPY, ENDOVENOUS RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION, ENDOVENOUS LASER ABLATION. These above mentioned techniques require special equipment and are performed by only Vascular Surgeon, so these are quite expensive.
Another treatment option which is LIGATION AND STRIPPING of the varicose vein. Its relative simple and cost effective option. This is performed by almost every GENERAL SURGEON. The ulcer need some more attention with dressing and antibiotic coverage. I think Pondicherry institute of medical sciences may be a good option to find a good general surgeon or vascular surgeon.
I hope I answered your Question well. Please rate my answer if you like it and feel free to ask any further Questions.
