Although many blue veins are a normal part of aging or genetics, there are situations in which it is advisable to seek medical attention:
Symptoms of venous insufficiency: If you notice symptoms such as pain, swelling, or changes in skin color, it is essential to consult a vascular specialist.
Sudden changes: If a vein that was not visible before begins to appear suddenly or change in size, this may be cause for concern.
Scarring or ulcerations: The appearance of wounds or ulcers on the legs that do not heal can be a sign of serious circulatory problems.
Severe pain: If you experience severe pain or a warm sensation in one leg, especially if it’s accompanied by redness, it could be a sign of a thrombus (clot), which would require urgent attention.
