Varicose veins form when there is increased pressure in your venous system, which causes blood to leak out of the veins. This blood in the surrounding soft tissue leads to inflammation, which results in an itching sensation. The increased pressure is also responsible for the swelling and discoloration you may experience in your calf. I'm Dr. Brian Keyashian. Thanks for watching!
