Probably nothing...: ...as long as there's not soreness, irritation, etc. But see a doctor if you remain concerned.

Question 2

i am experiencing penis redness and inflammation on head and forskin when errected, red spider veins, and it is sore on the tip.

Accepted Answer

Penis pain: You may have an infection or a foreskin that is especially tight.  Please start w/a visit to your primary care doctor.  He/she may refer you to a urologist if needed to take care of things.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

scared. medial areaof one ankle has puffy area (around posterior tibial tendon?) along the bump/bone on inner ankle. no pain or redness but little red spider veins visible that are also on other ankle but more faded. i walk 7 miles per day. im thin?

Accepted Answer

: Per your description these symptom are consistent with an overuse injury or probation  flattening the arch and injuring the posterior tendon. Did you change anything recently  your shoes, the speed, the terrain. Anything that is different. NSAIDs  and ice will help. Cause is most important.

Question 4

im having penile redness on the head and foreskin when erected with red spider veins. no tight forskin. pain when urinating. is this serious ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: I often tell patients that pain is like the red "warning light" in your car when you start the engine.  If it goes on, it may be nothing, but it may be something, so best to take it to the mechanic.  Pain is often that "warning light" for our body.  It shouldn't hurt to urinate, so if it does I would see your Dr and get a simple urinalysis to rule out infection.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: red spider veins?

Accepted Answer

Tiny veins: Spider veins get their name because they have the appearance of tiny spider legs. They tend to be most common on the legs especially around the inner or outer thighs. They can either be red or blue in color depending on their size and location. For more information, you should see a vein specialist.

Question 6

how can i diminish the red spider veins under my nose?

Accepted Answer

A few ways: Lasers, thermocoagulation, and sclerotherapy are all ways that can be used to treat red spider veins under the nose.  They all involve a little discomfort and bruising afterwards but they generally work well.  The problem is that they aren't permanent solutions and you are likely to need treatment again some day.

Question 7

could little tiny red spider veins on breasts go away if you lose weight or at least barely be noticeable ?

Accepted Answer

Breast spider veins: See a dermatologist about the cosmetic treatment of visible "spider veins".  To reduce the frequency of "spider vein" occurrence, wear a supporting bra even when sleeping, as heavy breasts do contribute to recurrence.

Question 8

how can i eliminate or diminish the red spider veins under my nose?

Accepted Answer

Multiple options: There is no way to get rid of all of them forever. There are many options to treat these but you will get new ones over time. I use either a laser or radiofrequency device with excellent results.

Question 9

hi iv just noticed this morning that i have large purple veins on both sides of my hips and afew littler red spider veins on my right side.what is it?

Accepted Answer

Lateral thigh veins: Without seeing this, it could be branches of the lateral subdermal venous system, which is the arc of thigh veins on the upper thigh. When damaged, they become visually prominent. Usually they respond well to injection treatment. They are a cosmetic problem. Have a doctor view them for proper diagnosis.

Question 10

any tips on getting rid of red spider veins around the nose?

Accepted Answer

Usually laser: Red veins on or around the nose are usually best treated with superficial lasers by dermatologists, or plastic surgeons or vein specialists. If they are large blue or purple veins on the nose, we have injected( sclerotherapy ), with the fda medicines: Asclera or sts. www.phlebolgy.org for vein dr.
