Everyone has veins that run through the multiple layers of the body.
These veins supply the heart and lungs with oxygen through the blood. When blood flow becomes restricted, it can result in the enlargement of veins, causing blood to pool in certain areas. These veins become visible on the surface of the skin and are known as varicose or spider veins.
Varicose veins are common in the thighs and the legs as pressure is often focused in these areas.
Varicose veins look like bulging veins and occur in specific areas while spider veins can appear in any part of the body including the face, thighs, ankles and feet. Spider veins are thinner in appearance and usually found in small clusters.
Varicose and spider veins can be brought on by a number of factors. Pregnancy can be a contributing cause to visible veins where there is a stretch in the skin to accommodate the baby, while prolonged standing or sitting can also be a cause, and genetic makeup can often leave some individuals more prone then others. Other contributing factors can be the lack of fibre in the diet and weak veins.
