How To Treat Blue Veins On Legs,stomach?

Hi. I started noticing spider veins about two months ago. Then I started noticing blue veins on my legs, butt, stomach, chest and arms. And my legs only hurt. Now I have veins on my hands, my body hurts everywhere, I have muscle spams and now getting blue veins on my arm a lot, my neck and one on my face by my mouth. I was wondering what it could be.

Hi. It would be normal for a fair skinned person to have visible veins or spider veins. They dont cause any pain by themselves unless they are injured by some trauma and can bleed and form a hematoma. Your generalised appearance of spider veins is quite weird and deserves to be evaluated by a Doctor. Let some Doctor or your GP examine you and he will be able to tell if anything is wrong. Generally, spider veins do not require any treatment. When symptomatic they can be sclerosed with Injections and they get thrombosed. This is usually done for leg veins that are cosmetically unacceptable to the patient. Take care and feel free to ask any more queries if they arise.
