Spider Veins, Leg Veins

Spider veins are small, thin, visible veins that develop near the surface of the skin, most commonly on the legs. They can be red, purple or blue and most people find them a cosmetic concern. They can occur in clusters and branch off in many directions like a web, hence the term “spider veins”.

Most often, spider veins occur because of genetic tendency (family history) and they are more common in women because of the effect of the natural female hormone, estrogen.
