What Is Skin Discoloration?
When caused by vein disease, skin discoloration is described as the skin's surface turning red, brown, or black in color, usually in a patch or area on the legs or feet. This kind of skin discoloration results from venous reflux and can also cause itching, scabbing, and cracking of the skin.
What Causes Skin Discoloration?
In vein disease, the valves can become damaged or weak to the point where blood can no longer successfully be pumped back to the heart. When this occurs, the blood pools in the legs and feet, creating excess pressure. When the pressure becomes too much for the veins in the lower extremities, the blood can seep into the surrounding soft tissue, resulting in visible “stains” above the skin’s surface. Iron in our blood can leak into the skin from the vein. The iron leakage into the skin that causes brown staining is called hemosiderin. The staining of the skin related to the veins leaking iron is known as hemosiderin staining.
What Is the Treatment for Skin Discoloration?
Our specialists will determine if your skin discoloration results from a vein disorder. If it is, we offer a range of treatments to address all symptoms. Our vein treatments will be customized to treat the underlying cause of your skin discoloration as safely and effectively as possible. Some of the common treatments for this condition are:

Vein & Body Specialists Reviews
Very nice place to be treated for varicose veins and other personal enhancement issues. Everyone is very nice and helpful. I have just started going here, but it seems like I will be happy I picked Vein and Body!
I had the Opus Laser treatment done, around my eyes, by Jasmine. I personally didnt have ANY pain. I don't have any redness and my eyes feel cool and "energized!!" I go back in 3 weeks. Staff is super friendly and down to earth. 10/10 recommend!
I love vein and body! The staff is so friendly and the place is always so clean. Thanks for helping me, Chad!!
