You can enjoy wearing what you want as well as showing off your beautiful legs once again!
Causes of Varicose Veins
Your body has veins that are located near the exterior of the skin that assist the return of oxygen-depleted blood to the heart. As surface vein walls become bigger and deteriorate because of age or heredity, blood can begin to flow backward causing it to collect inside your veins. This can cause an increased pressure which can leave lasting damage to the elastic vein walls.
Varicose veins or spider veins result when the valves that ordinarily prevent the blood from flowing backward become distorted because they have been stretched and bloated out of shape causing them to begin malfunctioning.
Problems that can occur with varicose veins include:
• A clot in the vein that cause the varicose to become inflamed and sore
• Bleeding
• The skin around the vein can become dry and itchy
• Blood can leak from the veins and cause a brown stain around the ankles
• Ulcers
