Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Male/30 - Varicose veins near ankles - wants to know treatment/ointment ...
Since you have varicose veins near ankles, it is very important to know the grade and the cause of it; whether incompetent valves or what.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Venous color doppler of both the lower limbs to know the exact cause to decide further management.
Till then you can use compression stockings properly to avoid further enlargement and possible complications.
Avoid long-hours standing/sitting.
Walk around during working hours.
Leg raise position in sofa and bed when relaxing.
I hope this answers your query.
Definite treatment is possible only after color doppler.
