All right, so I'm a 17 year old female probably a good 20-25 pounds overweight. (I'm addressing that by the way, going to start working out Tuesday!) Here's the deal though, I'm not, morbidly obese, yet I have several spots of spider veins on my thighs. I feel as if I am developing these prematurely, but they run in my family-all the women have extreme spider veins all in their legs and developed them early too. I just want to know a) If my working out and weight loss will help. b) If not, what can I do to get rid of or slow down the progression of my spider veins. And c) can spider veins really be genetic?

Wow. I just did some reading on varicose veins.
My future looks dim.
I am doomed.

Bioflavonoids and vitamin C might help

Gotu Kola 60 mg a day for a month helps some people but if it doesn't help within a month it most likely isn't going to help at all

If you are taking medicine for blood or heart check how safe these are with the meds.
