Varicose veins are enlarged veins that are visible through the skin and may appear as blue or purple twisted, knot-like cords. Varicose veins can occur anywhere in the body, but are more commonly found on the legs. Our veins consist of leaflet valves that prevent the reverse flow of blood. When the blood pressure increases and stays high for a long time, these valves get damaged and fail to prevent the reverse blood flow. This causes the blood to be forced into the tissue of our skin, creating black visible patches and spider veins over the skin. They can occur anywhere on the body but are commonly found on the shin and calf of our legs.
