Am I getting varicose veins?

Visible blue veins may be reticular veins or an early warning sign for future varicose veins. Your family history can provide some insight to your future vein problems. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

Venous insufficiency can occur at a young age and I have treated it as early as age 8 in a girl whose had 2 parents, 4 grandparents and overall approximately 10 family members with severe venous insufficiency, lipodermatosclerosis and venous stasis ulcers. Take some natural supplements like horse chestnut extract, avoid weight gain, walk daily, keep your calf muscles strong, wear compression stockings and get these existing varicose veins treated. 

What your pictures show are called blue or reticular veins which are very common in thin and fair skinned people. Although you do not have varicose veins, you may want to consider having a venous reflux ultrasound. This will show if you have reflux (leaking) valves of the saphenous system. If you have reflux, you will be prone to develop varicose veins and you probably should consider wearing support hose. Also, these blue veins can be treated by sclerotherapy if they bother you.
