Detailed explanation-1: -Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any vein that is close to the skin’s surface (superficial) can become varicosed. Varicose veins most commonly affect the veins in the legs. That’s because standing and walking increase the pressure in the veins of the lower body.

These veins then typically become swollen, raised and appear purple or blue through the skin. A milder form of varicose veins is known as spider veins.
