Blood vessels that enlarge and twist just beneath the surface of your skin are called varicose veins. Your legs, feet, and ankles are the typical locations for these blue or purple bulges. They could itch or hurt. Smaller red or purple lines that form near to the surface of your skin are called spider veins, which may surround varicose veins.

Varicose veins aren’t dangerous for the majority of people, despite the fact that they can be unattractive and uncomfortable. Serious health issues, such as blood clots, can occasionally result from severe varicose veins. The majority of varicose vein problems can be treated at home by you or by your healthcare practitioner using injections, laser therapy, or surgery.
