What are the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)?

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep in the body. These deep clots can clog up the veins and slow down the blood flow. Common symptoms or warning signs of DVT are swelling in one leg, pain in one leg, and/or a change in color such as redness of the skin close to the blood clot. Sometimes the skin around the swollen area feels warm to touch. If you have any of these problems, you should get medical help as soon as possible.

will a person of color have the same redness? with our complexions could be complicated. I really don't understand the warmth in the area where the bloodclot is, because aren't our legs particularly warm anyway?
