I'm 19 years old, male. I have varicose veins, my mother have them, so that's hereditary, I also sit at the computer for ~6 hours daily, but on the work days I walk 4 miles per day. Now they are appearing one after another. First one appeared last year August, there were no new veins until this year April. Recently I noticed another new one which is ~2in horizontally on calf muscle, it's not very noticeable but still it's outside of the skin ~3 mm. What could be the treatment for these veins ?
