I'm not a doctor, but it seems a bit unusual for a fourteen yr old to have spider veins. Yes, I think it should be checked into.

I've never heard of that in someone so young. You'd better check it out.

Is it normal for a 21 year old to have them? Just recently popped up?

Ugly Spider Veins
I have had those ugly little spider veins since I was a teenager! Usually in the shape of a starburst on my inner thigh by my knee, or on the outer side and back of my leg, they can really appear anywhere. They are hereditory usually but can get worse if you spend alot of time on your feet, because of pregnancy or weight gain and can even appear on your face from squeezing pimples or dehydration. (too much alcohol, not enough water!) there are a couple options, laser therepy, which works well, usually the first time, kindof expensive though, or sclerotherepy, thats when they inject saline solution into the little buggers, this is less money but it hurts a little too! I have had the sclero- and in one treatment it reduced my veins by about 50% in two or more treatments they should dimension. But they will eventually come back in other spots, oh well there are worse things!! Like varicose veins! They are even uglier and they hurt! Ether treatment you choose, be sure a schedule your appt. In the winter, because your legs will look a bit scary for a couple weeks/months! (brown spots where the treatment was) dont worry they fade!
Tbf- ps I am a horrible speller! Sorry

I worked as a server and bartender for three years, and developed spider veins on the inside of my thighs, next to my left and right knees. I was only 26 when they first started to show.

When I was in california visiting my mother a year ago, I went to see her accupressurist, this nice korean man, master yu, I think his name was. I only went twice. It was a painful experience. I went there for lower back pain, and he worked a lot on my feet and shins, which he said were connected. His therapy really worked for my back, and, as a bonus, the spider vein on my right leg disappeared completely, and the one on my left, which used to look like a long asterix, now is just a little squiggle, a question mark. I was pretty surprised. I thought I would have them for the rest of my life.

So, accupressure may be something you could look into.

Spider Veins - Men
I have had them on my left inner ankle since 26 from a sports injury, at 35 i have noticed two small patches on my right shin toward my ankle. My dad is 60 and he has them and they get finer and less noticable over time. I can only offer this advice, excercise, get horizontal rest and drink water...seems to help.

Sixty with spiderveins all across the cheekbones. Is there a cream to get rid of these? I also have brown spots on my face and forehead. Do any of the creams work?

I recently started having problems with Thread veins, I did have them treated with the inyections, and they dissapear almost completely, but somebody told me about a good home remedy which clear the arteries and is good for blood circulation. It is Apple Cider Vinegar, add to teaspoon to a bit of warm water, I also started taking vitamin C. An old lady told me about this, I wasn't so sure about it, so I have researched it, and it seem that it really good, so I started doing every day, if it works it will safe a lot of money in the future, plus a lot of tears, as this whole issue have really got me depressed.

Sorry about the spelling and word order, My mother tongue is Spanish not English.
