Deep vein thromboses (DVT) are often associated with post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and long term side effects such as chronic venous insufficiency or venous stasis ulcers, but these symptoms typically develop months-to-years after presentation of the DVT. Here, we report a case of severe lower extremity bullae and ulcers one week after diagnosis and treatment of DVT.
