Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

Should I see a doctor about varicose veins?

Remember these important questions when deciding whether to see your doctor:

• Has the varicose vein become swollen, red, or very tender or warm to the touch?

• If yes, see your doctor.
• If no, are there sores or a rash on the leg or near the ankle with the varicose vein, or are there circulation problems in your feet?

• If yes, see your doctor.
• If no, continue to follow the self-care tips above.
