Hello,

You should not be worried. These are probably varicose veins which are enlargement of legs veins due to weakened vessel wall and insufficiency of vein valves. It is usually caused by long-standing, obesity and genetic factors.

Such veins break easily and hematomas may occur even after minor trauma. It should be treated as usual with ice compresses, resting, bandages with pressure, and elastic stockings.

In severe cases, it can be treated with surgery which is also a permanent solution then.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
