When It Might Be Varicose or Spider Veins
- Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that often appear raised and dark.
- Spider veins are smaller, web-like patterns closer to the skin’s surface.
They’re often linked to weakened vein valves, which can cause blood to pool instead of flowing properly.
While they’re usually more of a cosmetic concern, they can sometimes cause symptoms like:
- Aching or heavy legs
- Swelling
- Burning or throbbing sensations
