• Confirm inflammation of varicose veins. Find out relevant patient details (general health. underlying health conditions, etc.).
• Find out more details about symptoms (onset, intensity of itching, any swelling, feeling of heat, etc.)
• Explain venous stasis dermatitis is reason for itchiness (chronic inflammatory skin disease: blood build-up in damaged vessels, eventual leakage/oozing of blood into skin. etc.) Find out about any remedies tried (e.g., medicated creams, moisturising lotions, etc.).
• Make recommendations to ease itchiness (moisturise: at least twice a day, thick emollient without fragrance/dye; compression stockings, etc.).
• Emphasise importance of not scratching (e.g. worsens itch, leads to cuts, infection, etc.). Advise need for doctor appointment if symptoms get worse. Remind patient of varicose vein management and self-care (e.g., keep active. use loose clothing, avoid standing/sitting long periods, elevate legs when sitting, etc.
