Spider veins on the feet are usually not dangerous. They are small, dilated blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. Unlike varicose veins, they do not typically cause serious health problems. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute notes that spider veins are often a cosmetic concern, though they can sometimes cause mild discomfort.
Possible Symptoms
- Burning or itching in the affected area
- Mild aching after standing for long periods
- Visible red, blue, or purple veins near the surface of the skin
When to Seek Medical Advice
Spider veins on the feet should be checked by your doctor to rule out early varicose veins. If confirmed as spider veins, they are usually harmless but can be treated for comfort or appearance.
