Vascular Lesions
What are spider veins?
Spider veins are red and purple blood vessles that occur in patches on the legs and face. They are not the same as varicose veins, and one does not always lead to the other. Spider veins tend to be delicate and develop in clusters where varicose veins are usually singular, large swollen and most often occur on the legs.
