Could be Venous reflux look it up on the net.Venous reflux occurs when the veins in the leg aren’t properly circulating blood to the heart. It’s also referred to as venous insufficiency.

If a leg vein fails, the blood can back up, pool, and leak into the leg tissue. This leads to a hot or burning sensation often accompanied by discoloration and itching.
