Spider Veins
Spider veins are groups of red, blue, or purple blood vessels that appear visible under your skin. Resembling tree branches or spider webs, they typically show up on the legs and thighs, but they can also appear on the face.
Even though they don't harm our health, spider veins might be symptoms of further medical conditions like venous insufficiency.
In contrast, varicose veins, are caused by a faulty vein valve leading to the pooling of blood in the superficial venous area. The results in them appearing swollen and twisted. More often than not, varicose veins come with uncomfortable symptoms like cramps, itching, discoloration, pain, or skin sores.
While varicose veins are typically more common in women, anyone can get them.
What causes spider veins?
Spider veins are a result of numerous factors and may even be inherited. They often develop when someone stands for long periods or spends excessive time in the sun. Additionally, they can be linked to aging, sudden weight gain, or pregnancy. Hormonal changes and weight fluctuations might also contribute to their appearance.
