ive been taking especial care this year to be good to my body
so far so good
for the first time in my life (im almost 20) i think i will be confident enough to wear shorts in the summer, or skirts without knee high socks etc etc
but... on my thighs i have like little red and purple veins. theyre not the sexiest things in the world.
i was just wondering what these are, what causes them (if its something in particular) and how i can get rid of them.
anybody know??

Are they varicose veins? I don't know if you get them on your thighs or when you are young.
Maybe you could use one of those toning moisturiser things?
I'm talking rubbish probably, I just wanted to quote the socks thing
You can get them when you are young, yes. My Mum has suffered from them very badly from a very young age.
I seem to have taken my Dad's side though as none have appeared as yet *touch wood*
Varicose veins on the other hand are pretty horrific; they can go really lumpy and they're actually quite dangerous. Pic of varicose veins here:
:yes: They do go really lumpy. My Mum has had them really bad.
She's had to have so main veins removed
I hope I never get them.
This cosmetic surgery site says
Don't think there's anthing you can do to get rid of them, though, short of surgery.
ETA: beaten to it!
the other ones looked a little bit scary and i didnt wanna get an operation or anything
but yeah, i think my boyfriend mentioned them as being called spider veins or something.
so... do i just kinda have to deal with it?
i have lots of them at the top of my thighs were no one can see them anyway but i have a few very tiny purple ones that move towards my knees.
hehe...maybe i should just keep to shorts and skirts that are knee length!!
i do have some white stretch marks at the tops of my thighs.
i didnt notice, but my boyfriend said that i had lost a lot of weight after i was ill with a kidney infection and was constantly throwing up for a week (never ever again)
how can i get rid of those then, if thats what they are?
Ooh! Thank you very much!

have you used that before? or know anyone who has?
heheh was trying to imagine myself with a fake tan hahahaha
:yes: I have some spider veins and you can see nearly every normal vein cuz I'm ghostly, I've never tried the sally hansen stuff but the lightly tinted moisturizer helped too.
