Answer: Foot veins From the posted picture it is impossible to say what your problem is. Foot veins are very common and can be normal. The posted veins are very small and the dark spots are unclear as to their source. See a vein specialist for an evaluation.

Answer: Veins on the foot The picture appears to show small reticular veins (1-3 mm diameter) on the instep of you foot, which is common. It suggests that there may be a problem with too much pressure in the veins of your leg due to a vein valve problem. The key to proper treatment is the correct diagnosis of the root cause of the vein problems of the leg. We start with a careful history and physical examination to identify risk factors along with the signs and symptoms of venous disorders. The next step is the use of noninvasive ultrasound diagnostics to create a road-map of the venous system to identify and locate valve dysfunction. Only then can an appropriate treatment plan be developed. If ultrasound evaluation identifies that the valves of the saphenous vein or perforator veins are not functioning normally, a minimally invasive catheter based treatment can be used. Radiofrequency ablation, the Venefit procedure, is my technique of choice for the treatment of valve dysfunction resulting in reflux of the long and short saphenous veins along with the perforator veins. This treatment is covered by most health insurance plans! The smaller veins can be treated with either laser or sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy would be my first choice here.
