Spider veins‘ larger counterpart, varicose veins, require more immediate medical attention. These larger, bulging veins present various symptoms beyond just their visible appearance. Patients commonly experience aching, heaviness, or burning sensations in affected areas. The legs may feel tired or cramped, especially after long periods of constant standing or sitting. Swelling around the ankles and lower legs is often observed in individuals with varicose veins.

Some individuals notice itching or skin irritation around the affected veins. The skin may develop a leathery texture or show discoloration ranging from brown to reddish patches. These symptoms typically worsen throughout the day and improve with leg elevation or rest.
