Thread vs Varicose Veins Difference
Both thread veins and varicose veins are relatively common conditions. But what’s the difference between the two? Here are a few factors
Thread Veins |
Varicose Veins |
| Smaller veins or capillaries | Large and twisted blood vessels |
| Can be a group of veins, looking like spider web | Tends to be fewer but larger |
| Red or bluish colour | Blue/purplish colour |
| Not considered a medical issue | Can cause discomfort, pain, itching, skin conditions and more |
| Can appear on the face or body (most common on the legs) | Appear on the legs |
| Lack of skin and vein elasticity causes the veins to become more visible through the skin | Malfunctioning valves cause blood to back up and distort the vein |
