Nothing can ruin your image faster than the appearance of varicose and spider veins. Many people suffer because of their appearance, and think that varicose veins are just something that have to be lived with, but in reality, they can be treated.
Varicose are large, swollen and raised blood vessels, which can cause pain, swelling, and a burning or itching sensation. Spider veins are the smaller counter-parts of varicose veins. Both varicose and spider veins twist and turn and can become apparent just below the surface of the skin. While they are unattractive, in most cases both varicose and spider veins are harmless. However, some varicose veins can form a painful blood clot, which needs to be addressed immediately. There are many causes of these unsightly veins, and they are more common in women than men. Genetics, obesity, hormonal issues, and the use of birth control are the leading causes of varicose and spider veins, but they can also be caused by wearing garments that are too tight across the abdomen, like a girdle.
