Symptoms of Spider and Varicose Veins
- Unusual appearance to your veins. This is the most common symptom of spider and varicose veins. Spider veins are smaller, close to the surface of the skin, and can look like tree branches or spider webs that are dark blue or red in color. Varicose veins can be much larger and tend to develop on the legs. They may be raised from the skin and be twisted or ropelike in appearance.
- An aching, persistent pain in your legs that seems to get worse if you sit or stand for long periods of time
- Persistent throbbing or cramping of the legs
- A rash on the legs that is itchy or irritated and cannot be related to another cause
- An itchy or burning feeling on the face or legs
- A feeling of heaviness in the legs
- Swelling
- Restless legs
- Darkening of the skin. This symptom typically occurs in severe cases of varicose veins.
Symptoms such as those listed above are more likely to occur with varicose veins than spider veins.
