Spider Veins
Spider veins are a common condition that can appear on various body parts, including the thighs, legs, or ankles. They often form a network connected to mid-size or reticular veins. These veins result from the stretching of veins near the skin's surface, making previously invisible veins visible. Spider veins come in various forms, from individual thread-like streaks to clusters resembling tree branches or starbursts.
Factors Contributing to Spider Veins
Family History: If immediate family members have spider veins, your risk increases.
Trauma: Soft tissue injuries, such as those from surgery or injury, can trigger spider vein formation.
Medications: Certain medications, like oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and infertility drugs containing female hormones, can lead to spider veins.
Occupation: Jobs involving prolonged standing or sitting, such as teaching, nursing, or hairstyling, can worsen spider veins.
Spider veins can occur on various body parts, including the face, chest, abdomen, back, or arms. Facial spider veins are often a result of sun exposure and skin inflammation like Rosacea. If many spider veins appear around the knee or ankle, it may indicate an underlying vein issue. An ultrasound can help diagnose such cases.
