What Are Spider Veins?
Spider veins are small, red veins that resemble spider webs and appear close to the skin’s surface. Despite the name, these unsightly veins are nothing to be scared of! These skin issues can show up in multiple areas, but it is most likely that you will find them in places such as:
- Legs
- Hands
- Face
It is unlikely that your spider veins should cause any concern. Common side effects besides a red or purple appearance include itchiness, burning, cramping, or a heavy feeling.
How Do They Occur?
When the valve weakens in the veins, your blood may have difficulty flowing in the right direction. This causes the blood to pool and branch out, giving that “web” appearance. There are numerous factors that can be to blame for spider veins:
- Genetics
- Pregnancy
- Gender
- Age
- Being Overweight
- Standing or Sitting for Prolonged Periods of Time
- Pressure
- Sun Damage
Spider veins are common and can happen to several people. They do not pose a risk to you or your health, but if you are finding them uncomfortable or they’re causing a lack of confidence, there are options for you!
Getting Rid Of The “webbing”
Adhering to a healthy lifestyle, getting plenty of daily movement, and wearing sunscreen can all combat the onset of spider veins. Along with this, there are treatments that significantly reduce the appearance of these veins and help you feel comfortable in your own skin.
