I have a long blue vein that runs down my inner thigh that is prominent when standing but disappears when i put my leg up.not varicosed.what is this?

Need vein eval.: What you describe sounds like the saphenous vein. In some people this is a prominent but normal vein and in others it could be abnormal. This vein could also be a reticular vein. You should see a vein specialist for an evaluation.
