![]() A cardiologist at Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, Dr. Rajan Bhatt holds a doctor of medicine, MBA in finance and strategy, and master’s degree in medical sciences from various institutions. Dr. Rajan Bhatt leverages these degrees and his medical experience to provide comprehensive treatment options for spider and varicose veins. Below are three common myths about varicose veins: 1. They are only a cosmetic problem. In many cases, varicose veins are only a cosmetic issue, but not all cases of varicose veins are cosmetic. Under 10 percent of people with varicose veins experience skin discoloration, skin thickening, and bleeding. These symptoms increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis. 2. Spider and varicose veins are the same. People often use the terms “spider veins” and “varicose veins” interchangeably, but they refer to two different conditions. Spider veins are usually small and are red or purple in color. Varicose veins are blue and cause the vein to bulge where it is damaged. 3. Crossing your legs causes varicose veins. Individuals do not increase their risk of developing varicose veins when they cross their legs while sitting. Instead, this condition is usually the result of heredity, pregnancy, obesity, or weight gain. They also normally appear when people are older; however, there are some exceptions to this.
