Symptom #7: Spider-Like Patterns on Skin
If you were to see a map of the cardiovascular system, you would likely notice that it resembles a tree in the way that larger veins branch out into smaller veins. This is not usually apparent from the surface, but it can be very noticeable in patients that have thrombophlebitis.
The condition can spread to smaller veins that are branching off from the larger veins. In superficial thrombophlebitis, this will mean that spider-like patterns will be clearly visible on the skin. As before, this is not necessarily dangerous but it does indicate an underlying problem that needs to be treated.
