Hi, I Think I Have Spider Veins On My Chest.

default
Posted on Sun, 23 Feb 2020
Question: Hi, I think I have spider veins on my chest. I have had them for many years. I wondered if you could tell me what they are and if I should be concerned. They are not very visible and have not altered in appearance since I first noticed them. I have no other symptoms. I am fit and healthly. In fact I regularly run marathons. For peace of mind I thought I would ask. Photos attached. Thank you.

Not much important. No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I see the photo you attached and there are some obvious spider veins on your chest.
I don't think they are much important.
I believe they can be not important since you are otherwise healthy and fit .

They can be with unknown origin or just like varicose veins.

Hope I have answered the question.
