This type of staining represents pressure so high in the venous system that red blood cells are forced out of the blood capillaries and into the skin tissues. The red blood cells then release iron deposits, called hemosiderin, which stain the skin. If left untreated, CVD may lead to skin breakdown, infection and chronic inflammation.

Edema secondary to CVD slowly worsens throughout the day with prolonged sitting or standing and resolves overnight or with the legs elevated. Edema that persists is called chronic edema and is also referred to as lymphedema. Edema\/lymphedema that persists in the tissues causes chronic inflammation that can change the way the skin looks and feels. While skin may feel flexible at first, it can progressively become thicker or firmer (fibrotic). This is a sign that the delicate lymphatic system is damaged and these areas of skin are more susceptible to infection.<\/p>\n<p>Unresolved venous edema can lead to a more serious condition known as phlebolymphedema, a combination of venous hypertension and a failing of the lymphatic system. Once the lymphatic vessels are damaged, swelling generally does not resolve overnight. Usually, edema related to CVD does not include swelling of the foot. If swelling of the foot is present, it is usually caused by a compromised lymphatic system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compression Dose<\/strong> \u2013 For the best dose and type of compression garment, please speak with a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8 vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-2 vc_col-xs-12 vc_hidden-xs\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e20806ec3ca\" data-id=\"69e20806ec3ca\" data-height=\"0\" data-height-mobile=\"32\" data-height-tab=\"0\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"32\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"32\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  vc_custom_1624651060173\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Symptoms Include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Swelling of the legs directly under your skin<\/li>\n<li>Skin appearing shiny or stretched<\/li>\n<li>When pressed for several seconds, skin will imprint (pitting edema)<\/li>\n<li>Reddish or purple discoloration of the skin, usually between the knee and ankle<\/li>\n<li>Swollen ankles with pooling of lymph fluid behind the ankle bones<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-10 vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-md-offset-1\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e20806ec59d\" data-id=\"69e20806ec59d\" data-height=\"96\" data-height-mobile=\"32\" data-height-tab=\"96\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"32\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"32\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey wpb_content_element  wpb_content_element\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-container\" data-vc-action=\"collapse\"><div class=\"vc_general vc_tta vc_tta-accordion vc_tta-color-grey vc_tta-style-classic vc_tta-shape-rounded vc_tta-o-shape-group vc_tta-controls-align-default vc_tta-o-no-fill\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panels-container\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panels\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel\" id=\"1606941787747-d93706c8-9b49ec86-f9e01ab5-3bbd1f26-f800c14d-1371\" data-vc-content=\".vc_tta-panel-body\"><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"vc_tta-panel-title vc_tta-controls-icon-position-left\"><a href=\"#1606941787747-d93706c8-9b49ec86-f9e01ab5-3bbd1f26-f800c14d-1371\" data-vc-accordion data-vc-container=\".vc_tta-container\"><span class=\"vc_tta-title-text\">Citations<\/span><i class=\"vc_tta-controls-icon vc_tta-controls-icon-plus\"><\/i><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div class=\"vc_tta-panel-body\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<ul style=\"color: ##6c757d;\">\n<li>Hamdan A.
