Do my feet have spider veins? (Photo)

norabeemApr 24, 2016
The veins on my feet are very visible and everywhere and i hate it, im only 27. Im so self conscious when wearing sandals, no one i see has such veiny feet. Is there any way to get rid of them without sclerotherapy? If not, how much does tha cost? I read apple cider vinegar soaked towels on feet helps, is this true?
