Getting started
You can seek medical or holistic treatment. In majority of the cases, symptoms are restricted to an ugly look of these veins. In serious cases, they become massive causing heaviness in the legs, cramping and itching during the night. This can be cured but you need to take precautionary measures to reduce the showing of veins and make sure they do not get worse. You can put on makeup or a concealer that matches your skin tone to hide the veins. -

Further instructions
Try to stay in motion and do not stand in the same position for too long, or sit to decrease the pressure on your feet. On the other hand, wear protective stockings with compression if you can. Cut down the consumption of alcohol, caffeine and spicy or junk foods. These things make the condition worse. Quit smoking as it is not good for your health and also contributes to this condition. Exercise on a daily basis and consume a high fiber diet to keep a healthy body weight. -

Massage and take supplements
It is good to massage the affected area with natural oils and creams regularly to strengthen the veins. You can buy these from health stores. Consume dietary supplements like Vitamins, C, E and K. This will prevent swelling and poor circulation issues. Do not take birth control pills and avoid wearing tight clothing. Raise your legs around 6 to 12 inches above heart level while sleeping. Talk to a doctor for medical treatment if the problem gets worse. He/she can recommend surgery for your condition.
