The inflammation causes a blood clot to form in the vein, and usually occurs in leg veins, but it may occur in an arm following improper injections. The thrombus in the vein causes pain and irritation, it may hinder blood flow in the veins. Phlebitis occur in the surface (superficial) and thrombosis in the deep veins. Superficial phlebitis affects veins on the skin surface. The condition is rarely serious and, with proper care, usually resolves rapidly. Sometimes people with superficial phlebitis also get deep vein thrombophlebitis, so a medical evaluation is necessary. Deep vein thrombosis affects the larger blood vessels deep in the legs.
