10 Symptoms Of Phlebitis
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Hard Patch
The surface of our bodies is generally quite soft. We have an elastic skin covering soft materials below. This means we are less well protected than animals that have a tough outer shell, but our size means that a tough shell will be too heavy for us. Some conditions can cause areas to become quite firm, however.
Patients with phlebitis will often find that the affected area will become hard to the touch. It can also feel quite warm to the touch and also tender. Such a symptom is not normal and is something that should encourage you to arrange to speak with your doctor.
