VARICOSE VEINS
If you experience pain, discomfort, swelling, itching, discoloration or restless legs, you may have varicose veins.
Varicose veins can become quite enlarged and in some people they can be seen as raised lumps in the thigh, legs and calves.
When they become enlarged, they can be seen through the skin and may develop a purple-blue hue.

SPIDER VEINS
Spider veins - known in the medical world as telangiectasias or sunburst varicosities - are small, thin veins that lie close
to the surface of the skin. These thin, red capillaries sometimes surround varicose veins.
Although these super-fine veins are connected with the larger venous system, they are not an essential part of it.
