Overview

Both men and women suffer spider veins. Women do a great job of covering it up with makeup but unfortunately men don’t have that choice. This condition left untreated can become worse and affect your self-esteem and also dictate to you what you can wear specially if they are on the legs.

What are Spider Veins? 
Spider Veins occur when they are dilated, or enlarged just beneath the skins surface. They are commonly known as spider veins and appear red in colour with a web-shape appearance mainly found on the face and legs.

Causes Of Spider Veins

• Heredity and genetics.

• Pregnancy. An increase in estrogen hormones during pregnancy can lead to broken blood vessels. These can heal after the Pregnancy

• Sun exposure. Excessive UV exposure can enlarge your blood vessels. Getting sunburn makes the top layer of your skin peel and temporarily make some of the blood vessels in your face more noticeable.

• Weather changes. Hot weather increases blood vessel dilation.

• Environmental or chemical irritants.

• Alcohol consumption. Moderate or occasional alcohol can cause your skin to flush causing enlarged blood vessels. Binge drinking and heavy alcohol consumption can eventually lead to spider veins.

• Injuries. Minor to significant injuries leads to bruising. With bruises on your face, broken blood vessels may also be noticeable.

• Vomiting or sneezing. Sudden, extreme pressure in your face from a violent sneeze or vomiting can lead to broken blood vessels.
