I have varicose veins at the back of my knee and on my thighs. (Photos)

MasaSojer95
Hello! I am a 23 year old female who works a mostly standing seasonal job and I started noticing really visible veins on my thighs and the back of my knees where they even bulge out sometime and cause a burning sensation. I consulted my personal doctor and she told me to take some medication (detralex). The veins are making me lose my confidence as I am a person who loves wearing dresses but now I don't feel comfortable wearing them anymore...are there any effective solutions to get rid of them?
