Varicose veins

Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. They most commonly develop in the legs and ankles. Varicose veins develop when you have faulty valves in your veins and weakened vein walls.

You will usually see varicose veins before you have any problems with them, as they can appear swollen and look lumpy and bluish through the skin. Apart from this, some people may never have any other symptoms.

Others may experience some of the following symptoms:
Aching, throbbing or heavy legs which can be made worse by standing for a long time, and are often worse at nightSwollen ankles
Permanent brownishblue shiny skin discoloration around the veins
Dry, itchy or tingly skin over the veil which may lead to eczema (venous eczema)

The goals of varicose vein treatment are to reduce symptoms and prevent complications. Ask your pharmacist for advice.
