Very close veins..: You can start by being evaluated by a vein specialist. Treating varicose veins in the feet must be done with great care. They are necessary to help drain from the foot and route to back to the heart.

Veins: The bulging veins use the are as the result of blood flow in the venous system going backwards down the leg. To adequately treat this a venous Doppler ultrasound should be done to determine if there is a vein that is abnormal, and then treatment should be directed at the underlying abnormal vein, not of the vein of the foot.
