Unwanted Veins<\/h1>\n

What causes unwanted veins?<\/h2>\n

The network of veins that help to move and store blood in our bodies are usually only slightly visible beneath our skin.\u00a0 In the case of varicose veins and spider veins, however, the veins become visible on the surface of the skin.\u00a0 Varicose veins are more common on the legs, but they can form anywhere. In the worst cases, varicose veins appear as a knot of red and purple veins that bulge from the skin\u2019s surface.\u00a0 In addition to cosmetic considerations, varicose veins can also result in tiredness, aching, cramping, swelling and itching. Spider veins do not bulge, but they often appear on the skin\u2019s surface as a cluster or web-like maze.\u00a0 While they tend to appear more often on the legs, they can also appear in other places including the face and chest.<\/p>\n
