What is it?
Leg and facial veins are a commonly occurring condition wherein a group of blood vessels beneath the skin become dilated. These are commonly called spider veins, which occur mainly in the face and legs, but could appear anywhere in the body. Although harmless in most cases, leg and facial veins can sometimes cause mild pain when standing for prolonged periods of time, and tend to look unpleasant on the skin.
These are often caused due to a variety of reasons including genetics and heredity, damaged skin due to sun/UV exposure, aging, pregnancy and/or other hormonal fluctuations, skin inflammation, etc. Another variety of leg veins is called varicose veins, which isa condition in which the weakening of blood vessel walls causes the vessels to become swollen/enlarged. This could sometimes be harmful to the individual and would require medical attention.
