  Superficial thrombophlebitis occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein near the surface of the skin. The condition can cause skin discoloration, tenderness, and swelling. […] Superficial thrombophlebitis may cause or be associated with a few different complications, some of which are significant. These include DVT, pulmonary emboli, and recurrence, which may take the form of migratory thrombophlebitis. […] If left untreated, superficial thrombophlebitis may progress to DVT or pulmonary emboli. These can be life threatening conditions, and prompt medical treatment is necessary. […] The amount of time required for superficial thrombophlebitis to resolve depends on factors such as the size of the clot and whether it is associated with other conditions. […] Superficial thrombophlebitis may resolve on its own. If the condition becomes migratory or results from an underlying cancer, vascular disease, or clotting problem, it may require long-term treatment and careful monitoring. […] Superficial thrombophlebitis was formerly thought to be a benign, self-limiting condition. However, newer research has shown that it can occur along with serious conditions such as DVT and cancer.
