I know peoples who also have same problems as you. Exercising, losing weight, not wearing tight clothes, elevating your legs and avoiding long periods of standing or sitting — can ease pain and prevent varicose veins from getting worse.

hello, I know exactly how u feel because I too have varicose veins. Because of this ugly thing on my legs, most of the times i wear clothes that will cover my legs. I even try to hide this to my girlfriend, because I'm afraid that she'll discover this shortcoming. By the way, do you already have a cure or treatment for this?

I also have varicose veins, which i inherited from my mother. There are treatments available now like scleotherapy. Injecting the veins one by one. It will just hide the errupted veins so it will be not that visible. Its a series of treatments and is expensive. Its not a guarantee that the spider veins wont come back. We can only prevent those veins by massaging the area and raising your feet on the wall while lying on the bed. I hope this will help you :)
