Varicose veins are the bluish, bulging swollen and twisted veins running beneath the skin surface and may appear anywhere on the body, although the veins most commonly affected are in the legs and feet.

Spider veins are small, red, blue or purple veins commonly appearing as thin wiggly lines on the thighs, calves and ankles. They form from high pressure in the venous system which causes the thin walled veins to expand. Spider veins may be associated with "feeder veins" or larger underlying varicose veins. Spider veins usually take on one of three basic patterns. They may appear in a true spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a dark central point; they may be arborizing and will resemble tiny branch-like shapes; or they may be simple linear and appear as thin separate lines. Linear spider veins are commonly seen on the inner knee, whereas the arborizing pattern often appears on the outer thigh in a sunburst or cartwheel distribution.

For many people, varicose veins and spider veins — a common, mild and medically insignificant variation of varicose veins — are simply a cosmetic concern. For other people, varicose veins can cause aching pain and discomfort. Sometimes the condition leads to more serious problems. Varicose veins may also signal a higher risk of other disorders of the circulatory system.
