Whether from wrinkles or spider veins, the lines and bumps that appear on the skin can cause alarm and frustration. Age, genetics and environmental factors can all affect the tone, texture and appearance of the skin, and working with your dermatologist can help you learn more about how certain skin conditions develop and how they can be treated.
- Swollen or discolored blood vessels can mar the surface of otherwise-smooth skin. If you suffer from spider veins or varicose veins, ask your dermatologist about treatment options that can eliminate them or at least minimize their appearance. Learn more about spider and varicose veins with this dermatology guide from WebMD.
- Spending time at work may not affect your stress levels alone. If your job requires you to stand for long periods of time, you could be more likely to develop spider veins. Read more about the connection between work and health with this article from Redbook magazine.
