Answer #5

It sounds like you have spider veins, also called telangiectasia. They are a combination of dilated intradermal venules of less than 1 mm in size. It is a common problem with many people of all different ages. They aren’t bad and don’t mean you are sick. There are more cosmetic then anything.

Spider veins are caused by a variety of things such as:

weight gain
hormonal changes
pregnancy
hereditary

The only real way to get rid of them is to have them removed via a laser.
