When the feet are soaked in hot water, the arteries of the lower limbs dilate and the skin is congested, and more arterial blood enters the lower limbs, which will aggravate blood stasis for patients with venous diseases with poor reflux or obstruction; Soaking feet with hot water can also lead to the rupture of skin capillaries and the formation of bleeding spots. After a long time, pigmentation will form and the color of the calf will turn black; If patients with venous thrombosis are taking anticoagulants, the bleeding will be more serious.
