Symptom #4: Reddish Purple Skin

Deep Vein Thrombosis will often produce a redness or discoloration of the skin over the affected area. This change in color of the skin is another early symptom and should be seen as a warning sign of Deep Vein Thrombosis.

The skin color may start to change from a light pink to a reddish purple. In rare cases, the skin can turn pale blue, as a sign of poor oxygenation (cyanosis).
