Suggest Treatment For Red Inflamed Line In The Legs Caused By Compression Stocking

about 3 weeks ago, my husband injured he right rear calf getting out of a very high pick up truck and has a lump at the site of the injury. about a week later his varicose veins reappeared and he put his compression stocking on and kept his legs elevated. He wore it until it became uncomfortable (about an hour or 2). The compression stocking has caused a very angry red inflamed line, progressively getting wider from his knee to his groin. He has had this for about a week now. What should we be concerned about and how to treat it.

Hello,

It could be a local inflammation and will settle by itself. No definite treatment is required either.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
