Symptom #8: Itchiness
Itchiness can be a horrible symptom, leaving patients agonizing over an unbearable sensation that just will not go away. Itchiness can be caused by a wide range of conditions, some harmless, but some can also be quite serious. If you do have itchy skin, there is a chance that phlebitis is the cause.
Patients with phlebitis will often find that the area around the affected vein is itchy, while it can also be swollen. You should try to avoid scratching it no matter how itchy it may be because your nails can do damage to the skin, potentially leading to further problems.
