A member asked:
I have bulging veins on my feet and have done for as long as i can remember. are these varicose veins? or could they be something more normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: It is possible that these are varicose veins. Varicose veins are not found as frequently in the feet as they are in the ankle region. Be sure to follow up with a Foot and Ankle Specialist to confirm the diagnosis.
