Skin Pigmentation

One of the signs of superficial venous insufficiency is a brownish-black pigmentation of the ankles. Only venous insufficiency causes this type of discoloration, which is the result of the red blood cells escaping through the over-stretched walls of affected veins. The red blood cells which leak into surrounding tissue are quickly trapped and destroyed, releasing hemoglobin which degrades into iron. It is this iron that oxidizes and gives the skin this typical brownish-black pigmentation.
