10 Blood Clot In Foot Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Redness
A blood clot in the foot can cause inflammation. When this occurs, the surrounding white blood cells in the area release chemicals that increases blood flow to the affected area. The redness in the affected area is due to the dilation of blood vessels.
Redness is one of the hallmarks of inflammation and one of the commonest symptoms seen among patients who have a blood clot. Other associated symptoms include pain, tenderness, loss of function, swelling, and warmth. Redness can reduce if cold packs are applied to the affected region as it helps reduces blood vessel dilation and blood flow.
