Varicose veins are characterised by bulging veins, most often in the legs or feet. They occur when tiny valves in your veins become damaged which causes blood to pool in the vein and create the swollen appearance under the skin. They can be blue, green or skin-coloured and other symptoms include; aching legs, skin rashes and swollen ankles. A common misconception is that only women present with varicose veins but in reality, both men and women can develop the condition.
