Common conditions

Ankle flare

Causes

The leg veins work against gravity to return blood upwards to the heart. When the veins are not working as efficiently as they should, blood pools and stretches the blood vessels. This results in ankle flare.

Advice

See your nurse or GP for advice. If your legs are also swollen your nurse or GP may advise you to wear the type of compression therapy which reduces swelling as well as assisting blood flow. Try not to knock your legs and if you have any wounds which appear not to be healing, have them checked over by a healthcare professional as soon as possible.

Treatment

Activa compression hosiery works to push blood up the leg. A healthcare professional may prescribe ActiLymph hosiery if there is swelling in the legs.
