It's a face condition and I just wanted to know because I know about varicose or "spider" veins in the legs are due from weak veins whos valve quit workin or a vein broke open.  Just wanted to know why.

this is called rosacea, it is a chronic inflammatory congestion of the cheeks and nose. It is characterized by redness, dilation of the blood vessels, and the formation of papules. The causes of rosacea is unknown.  Certain thinks are known to aggravate in some individuals.  These include consumption of hot liquids, spicy foods or alcohol, being exposed to extremes of heat and cold, exposure to sunlight, and stress.

The retina is the very back of the eye, so I'm not sure how you're visualizing the veins.  If you're concerned about it, you really should seek the advise of your eye doctor.

Yes, please see a doctor at once. This could be related to a bacteria, which is a flesh-eating bacteria. Goes through the circulatory system, often shows up in the legs / ankles area.

Here are some suggestions I hope will be helpful to you:\n\nOf all the veins in your body, leg veins have the hardest time carrying blood back to the heart. When the valves weakened, blood can become clogged and cause veins to swell abnormally. To ward off varicose veins, get a leg up with this advice from our trio of health experts.\n\nYoga Therapist\n\nYoga is an effective protocol for preventing and treating varicose veins. The posture that is known to be clinically most effective in both cases is sarvangasana, the shoulder stand (shown), where the legs are inverted and the pressure of gravity is reversed. In this pose, the blood and the lymph drain from the lower extremities back to the heart, thereby reducing the pressure of the pooled blood in the veins. Do this pose once daily. with a recommended holding time of about three to five minutes. When you stand up, movement of these fluids in the legs is greatly improved.\n\nPeople with limited range of motion or high blood pressure should do the modified version of the shoulder stand: Lie on the floor and place your legs in an inverted position on the flat surface of a wall. If necessary, a small pillow or rolled towel can be placed under your neck for comfort and support.\n\n\nNaturopath\n\nVaricose veins can only form if there's weakness in blood-vessel walls, or if there's significant pressure within the vein to overwhelm healthy vessels. By strengthening the vessel walls, which are made of smooth muscle and connective tissue, you decrease the likelihood they will dilate or distend. Build up connective tissue and shrink existing varicose veins by taking 2 to 3 grams of vitamin C and 400 to 800 IU of vitamin E daily (if you have a clotting disorder or take blood thinners, check with a doctor about vitamin E dosage). Botanicals such as horse chestnut, bilberry, butcher's broom, and grape-seed extract fortify connective tissue, while fruits like blueberries, elderberries, and cherries contain antioxidants that strengthen vein walls.\n\nVaricose veins sometimes lead to clotting, which can reduce the area through which blood flows and force the vessel to dilate even more. To help prevent clotting, eat foods with blood-thinning properties, such as raw onions, garlic, ginger, and cayenne.\n\n--Amy Neuzil, N.D., Austin, Texas\n\nDermatologist\n\nSeveral factors contribute to varicose veins: genetics, pregnancy, obesity, constipation, taking estrogen, and wearing high-heeled shoes and/or restrictive clothing. Everyone with varicose veins should seek medical treatment, since there is a 50 percent risk of developing leg ulcers or blood clots, especially after a long (car or plane trip. One procedure I use to treat varicose veins is endoluminal laser vein closure, which involves using light energy inserted with a fiber into the vein to heat the vein wall and cause it to collapse and seal closed. Bruising from the treatment disappears after a week or two, and patients can return to regular activities right after the procedure.\n\nIf you have varicose veins, wear lightweight graduated support stockings, especially when you're going to be on your feet for long periods. Avoid crossing your legs while sitting, since it cuts off blood flow and increases pressure in leg veins. Don't wear heels taller than inch: When you wear high heels, you don't utilize your calf muscles enough while walking, and these muscles are responsible for pumping blood back to the heart. To circulation and vein strength, walk or do another exercise that works your legs for a half-hour every day.

What do you mean green veins?  As in, your veins are bulging so we can see your blood (blue before oxidation?).  If so this is pretty normal for muscular people.  If you are worried, of-course see your doctor.

it is very sore and very bruised when you first have it done but after a couple of days you are mobile again. varicous veins are extremely painful but once the bruising goes its fine although if the reason for the op is more cosmetic than pain relief then i wouldnt have it done as it is fairly painful at first. good luck!

You need to find a doctor that specializes in  veins.  Toledo Ohio (Jobst Institute - Toledo Hospital) has one of the best programs.  Call and ask for a referal to someone close to you.\n\nVein doctors are rare, you may have to travel.  But if it is veins and not caught in time the outcome could be bad.\n\nRegular doctors seldom know vein problems.  Doctors are not created equal... look until you find one that can help you.\n\nYou need to be worried....

It's really surprisingly simple...\n\nthe Sensation of "Pins and needles" is how our receptors tell up that the various tissues arn't getting enough blood.\n\nIt's an indication of poor circulation.   Crossing legs sometimes "chokes off" the veins that deliver blood to the muscels and tissue.\n\nDo fix it... just do what you can to restore blood flow... A hand that's "asleep", hang it down... uncross legs... remove a wallet in a back pocket.\n\nI hope that helps.

not exactly sure of the look but it sounds like it could be something, just an infection but be car full clean it with iodine and rubbing alcohol maby talk to a doctor because it could get worse my brother almost lost his leg/ life to an infected spider bite, do hot compresses (soak a towel with hot water and press it to it gently) and talk to your doctor if it gets worse!

Could your brother have contracted Hep-C in any way?  This disease can cause varicies (varicose veins) in his intestinal track from the esophagus to the large intestine that rupture, bleed and stop.  The liver is just unable to process the impurities in the blood fast enough if it's damaged and the pressure will build up in the veins.  It's a possibility.  He can be tested for Hep-C.  Get a second opinion if necessary.  Good Luck.

That sounds like varicose veins. I've got a website you can check out. I know that they are 1. painful! 2. able to be fixed by surgery, and some insurance companies will pay, it is medical as well as cosmetic. Good luck to you.\nhttp://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/varicose_veins.jsp

To me, it sounds like overexertion and possibly a blood clot in his leg or somewhere else in his body, or dehydration, or a combination of something...but i'm not a doctor in any way...\n\nSorry for your loss...you have my condolences

It sounds like you might want to have the varicose veins surgically repaired so the leaching stops.  I searched the web and couldn't find anything on this - sorry.

If your husband has been on IV medications, called vasopressors, to keep his blood pressure from getting too low this can cause a decrease in peripheral circulation.  The medications cause the vessels to constrict to keep the BP at an appropriate level.  Because of this, the circualtion to the limbs, most often hands and feet, is inadequate.  Most likely this is the reason his feet and hand appear this way.  Unfortunately this is more common than we'd like to admit.  Once this damage is done a lot of times there is no way to reverse it as well.  The blisters may be forming due to excessive fuid in the tissues, called edema.  And once again, fluids in higer volumes may be given to elevate his blood pressure as well.  This is also one of those things that is necessary.  If you have any questions please feel free to email me.  I am a RN, working in a Cardiac Surgery ICU and I see this happen.  Please, do not give up hope, I have seen people recover from situations like this.  The best thing you can do is ask questions when you have them, and have the faith that your husbands physicians are doing their best to care for him.  Best of luck to you and your husband!

<>Some additional questions here:  Does the leg feel hot (to her or to the touch)?  Is there a burning sensation?  Does she ever feel short of breath?  The symptoms you describe could be attributable to DVT or some other thrombolytic venous dysfunction.  These are SERIOUS conditions!  If the first doctor can't diagnose it, go see someone else right away!! Now!!!

That is blood pooling under the skin from the needle puncturing your vein...this too shall pass...your body will re-absorb the blood.

Changes in breathing (rapid inhalation/exhalation) and heart-rate might be linked to it somehow. That might explain the venous involvement...something to do with circulation perhaps which is aggravated by the sneezing fit?
