We recruited lower leg dermatitis patients at our department between 2018 and 2021. The patients were divided into two groups, those with incompetent great saphenous vein and/or small saphenous vein (Group 1; n = 8) and those without (Group 2; n = 22). The prevalence of cramps and/or aching in Group 1 patients was significantly higher than that in Group 2 patients.
