10 Symptoms Of Phlebitis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #4: Spider Patterns
The blood is transported throughout the body in a network of channels. Some of them are larger than others, with smaller blood vessels branching off the larger ones. If you were able to look at the cardiovascular system on its own, you will see a network that is similar to how the branches of a tree will spread out.
In cases of phlebitis, smaller, feeder veins can also sometimes be affected by the condition. This can cause them to become visible, creating a spider-like pattern on the skin. If you do notice this symptom then you should arrange to get it checked out as soon as you can.
