No: Your 13 year old will benefit from further evaluation if indeed she is developing varicose veins anywhere.

VV'S in teenagers.: It is not normal for teenagers to have varicose veins. There are medical conditions that can be associated with the development of varicose veins at an early age and trauma can also cause them in teens. Although there is a possibility that varicose veins in teens is a normal variant, I would recommend an evaluation by a vein specialist.
