Leg Veins ... *embarressing Q* .. help needed!
I have these veins on the side of my thigh .. like an old woman! They've got a bit bigger over the past few months and i wondered if they posed any health risk? Im on 16 and feel so silly.. if anyone could tell me what they are/how they're caused and stuff it would be very helpful. x

What colour are they?
Red? Or...vein colour? [haha]
'Cause if they're red chances are they're stretch marks. Its common for young people to get them. But as you haven't really discribed what they actually look like, i dont know if its them! Try not to worry too much hun, they're probably harmless.

do they look like this at all?
the picture below is spider veins
Theyre a form of varicose vein, but closer to the surface of the skin.
they normally occur in the legs because of gravity, and you aremore likely to get them if you are affected with any of the following:
Hormone changes,
inherited factors,
exposure to the sun,
obesity,
prolonged standing,
leg injury.
spider veins do no normallyneed treating, but it might be a good idea to go to your doctor ayway as youre so young.
if they look nothing like the picture.. then ignore what i just wrote!!!

I get really bad thread veins when i have my bath water too hot, they usually go away after a while though.

Hmm I don't know a lot about it but you could phone the NHS direct to ask them ( 0845 4647 ) or go to see a sister at your doctors to ask about it :) It could be nothing - but it's deffinatly better to be safe than sorry :)

Go to your doctor, depending on how bad they are you might just need a steroid cream or laser treatment.
