Common conditions

Spider and Superficial Veins


Causes

The pressure of blood flowing backwards widens the blood vessels, making them visible below the skin.

Advice

Spider veins are not serious, but can be the first sign your leg veins are not working efficiently. Seek advice from your nurse or GP and consider wearing graduated compression hosiery to prevent more serious conditions.

Treatment

Keep active and maintain a healthy weight. As compression hosiery assists blood flow up the legs and prevents backflow and pooling, consider wearing Activa Class 1 compression socks or tights - available in plain colours, ribbed and patterned socks.
