Hello,
From your description, these are likely to be Varicose Veins.
You need to see a Vascular Interventional Radiologist to have a Doppler Ultrasound to confirm these.
This can then be treated by an Interventional Radiologist like myself by either Endovenous Laser or Radiofrequency Ablation done by a minimally invasive method.
