I am not sure where to post this. I recently discovered a small patch of spider veins on the outter part of my left calf. I thought it was a bruis but it hasn't gone away, it has gotten a little lighter. I finally looked at it closely with a mirror and am pretty sure they are spider veins. The little bit of research I did says it is common in pregnant women, and with weight gain, and usually goes away about 6 weeks after birth. This is my third pregnancy and I have never had them before. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? I read biflavoniods help, like dark berries and the white part of citrus fruits. Any one else dealing with this. I am feeling really sad about it because they are not pretty to look at, even though it is a small patch and it is pretty light. I am only 25 and it gets me down to think that I will have this forever, being that it is on my calf it will be hard to cover up in warm weather. Maybe I am being vein but it's how I feel.
I also recently discovered a puffy vein on my inner thigh where my leg meet my body. It comes and goes depending on if I have been sitting. I have just about come to terms with my streech marks and givin up the idea that I will be wearing shorts anytime soon because of them and the fact that I need to build some muscle in my thighs. Sometimes a vein in the back of my thigh puffs up too, it comes from the really puffy one higher up.
Anyway though I would ask.
