It's up 2 u: It is likely varicose veins. If they are small, or large, and do not hurt then you have to do nothing. You may be focused in and overly critical if they are small. If they are truly bothering you there are physicians who can inject them with chemicals to sclerose ( destroy) the vein. It is usually done by vascular surgeons but look up vericose vein treatment and consider that option. Good luck.
