Normal people feel that the water is very hot, but they can't feel it, so they are easily scalded. Once scalded, even a small blister, if not treated in time, may lead to foot infection, ulceration, and even severe amputation.
2. Patients with varicose veins. The main cause of varicose veins is venous valve insufficiency. The increase of foot temperature will only increase local blood flow, but will not change the speed of venous reflux. On the contrary, it may increase the burden of venous reflux, lead to further expansion of varicose veins, aggravate congestion of lower limbs and aggravate the condition. It is very likely that your feet will become more and more swollen, so don't soak your feet or legs with hot water, and don't warm your feet with hot water bottles or take a sauna.
