What is that small red veins showing in the inner thigh, and at the back of knee cap of my daughter?

A picture is worth..: Small veins under the skin located on the inside of the knee are commonly referred to as spider veins, however, less common vascular problems can arise even in a 12 year old. In this case a picture would be very helpful/likely get you a diagnosis.
