10 Symptoms Of Phlebitis
Symptom #3: Red Lines on Skin
We have veins running throughout our bodies, with many of them running just below the skin. In fact, the blood running through our blood vessels helps to give our skin its color. If something was to go wrong with the blood vessels, then that too will also be clearly visible.
Veins that run just below the surface of the skin are known as superficial veins. When these veins are inflamed, they are so close to the surface that the condition will be clearly visible. It will appear as a red line that follows the path of the superficial vein.
