Is there a treatment for bunch of veins on the foot?

A large network of spider and varicose veins on the foot is often referred to as corona phlebectatica. This may occur from genetic influences, hormones, environmental and occupational factors, and most importantly, ambulatory venous hypertension. Treatment should address the underlying cause of the distal extremity veins, rather than the spider veins themselves.
