NO WORRY: SPIDER VEIN ARE VERY COMMON AT ANY AGE OR GENDER, THEY ARE SOME KIND OF VEIN DISEASES, IMPROVING VENOUS CIRCULATION BY EXERCISING AND WALKING AND WEARING COMPRESSION STOCKING AND KEEPING LEGS ELEVATED HELP SOME AS THEY FORMED COULD BE REMOVED BY EITHER LASER THERAPY OR INJECTION, THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS SIMPLY COSMETIC
