Varicose Veins are veins that have become enlarged or twisted near the skin surface. Weakened vein walls and faulty valves in your veins cause varicose veins. When a valve does not function properly the blood will pool building up pressure and weaken the vein. Varicose veins are commonly found on the legs, but can be found elsewhere.
