Aptly-named spider veins show under the skin nearby the knee on the leg of an older Caucasian woman. Spider veins are smaller versions of varicose veins, which are abnormal dilated blood vessels that often form in the legs. They develop when the valves and walls of the veins are weak and cause blood to pool in the veins. Doctors offer some nonsurgical treatments that use chemicals or lasers to make spider veins fade or disappear.
