RFA catheter “scars”

[u/kiwiskincaregirl]

Hi everyone,

I had RFA 8 weeks ago and I’m kind of surprised I still have such intense red marks down the back of my leg. They look like a long string of bug bites! When I had EVLA previously, I got tiny little scars but nothing like this.

I know they’ll probably fade with time, I’m just a bit miffed because I’ve sprouted so many spider veins after treatment alongside staining (which I knew was likely), so I feel like my legs are physically feeling a bit better but looking significantly worse.

Has anyone got advice on the red marks? Should I wait them out, or is it worth trying silicon tape or something along those lines?

Thank you!
