Are Facial Veins Harmful?
Spider veins are tiny red or blue veins that appear on the skin in a branching pattern. They usually can be found on the legs, but can also appear on the face, chest, or back. While some spider veins may not be visible, others may be clearly visible on your skin as small red or blue branches. Spider veins may be painful or itch, and some people may experience burning, itching, or discomfort in the legs. You may also notice the veins may be larger than normal, or they may look like they are bulging under the skin.
