Can Apple Cider Vinegar Help Thread Veins?

Apple cider vinegar has been suggested as a ‘wonder treatment’ for a variety of ailments and there are a few methods suggested for DIY treatment of thread veins – both on the legs and facial veins.

Thread veins affect many people and while they are not classed as a medical concern, they are generally seen as a cosmetic issue and one that people are keen to get rid of. DIY treatments at home using natural products are a tempting prospect and the internet suggests a few methods for tackling thread veins using apple cider vinegar. The idea is that apple cider vinegar can improve circulation and blood flow.

In some remedies, users are advised to apply the solution to the skin using cotton wool or wraps or cloths.

However, dermatologists warn against this treatment for a number of reasons:

  • Apple cider vinegar is a strong acid which can cause skin sensitivities and rashes
  • Treatment is smelly, as the vinegar has a strong smell
  • Awkward and fiddly to carry out with risk of spillages causing damage
  • Most likely to be ineffective, as thread veins are damaged
