Why Is My Vein On My Ankle Shifting Positions After A Thorn Pierce?
my foot is itching just below the ankle. it was after i removed a thorn piercing. when it itches i see something like a vein, which shifts positions from time to time. i am suspecting that a worm entered thru the part i removed a thorn, coz the itching is around that part. so wat could it be doc?

Hi, thanks for using HCM.
Your description of symptoms suggestive of vein dilatation, entry of worm less likely to be, scratching do increases blood supply to particular area and resulting in vein enlargement.
Need to get TT injection done and antihistamine medication to reduce itching.
