  ello,
  have recently noticed that my vein ard my knees and back of it became more and more obvious, sometimes it hurts too..izzit coz of my job nature last time, i have to stand for long hours?
  
  there are also spider veins.. red thin veins appearing on my tighs.. the pain is like 'blue-black' kind of pain.....
  
  Now coz of work, have to wear high heels, the veins on my ankle also come out liao... become more and more big....
  
  Although appearance wise, its looks yukky... but then im more concern on the health part.... does it pose any health problems? coz it seems to hurt alot in that 'vein-ny' area....
  
  any creams out there that will reduce the ugly sight of veins?

  I think you may be developing Varicose veins.. if I'm not wrong, they are due to the valves in your veins weakening or something like that.. just do a check on them with a search engine with the words Varicose Veins over the internet, should be able to find something about it...
  
  I think they can be treated. They may become painful... so do treat them early...

  everyday after work try to elavate yr legs ...i've the same prob too.. its frustrating and is an irreversible condition unless the suffer goes for laser treatment or something like that....... also, i've read that pple suffering from this should stop sitting cross legged, as the leg on top of the other will cause pressure thus aggrvating the increase of varicose veins.
