Genetic? Preventable? Treatable? What To Know About Spider Veins
Long, thin, red lines that appear predominantly on the skin of the ankles, calves, thighs, and face are known as spider veins. While they are caused by many of the same factors, they are usually not associated with the physical pain and discomfort of larger, more pronounced varicose veins.
Instead, spider veins are mostly a cosmetic problem that most women would prefer to avoid, or if afflicted, seek an effective removal method.
