Spider veins on feet

I had posted a few months ago about blue veins showing on my chest and arms and a couple small spider veins on my ribs. I’ve been extremely healthy, gaining good weight/muscle and seem to feel great. But I have spider veins now appearing on my feet. If you read my post before I had elevated bloods that returned to normal, a US that stated completely healthy liver no fat no scars but I still have these veins popping up. I’m not looking for a definite answer but instead some perspective. I’m not drinking and I’m just scared this a sign of something major.

Spider / thread veins are entirely normal and are NOTHING what so ever to do with liver disease. Look up thread veins.

Spider angioma's on the other hand are a different type of thing and they can be related to the liver - they generally occur above waist/chest height.

I have Cirrhosis and I have dozens of spider veins on my upper body. My specialist told me that with Cirrhosis you only get them on your upper body and nothing could be done about them.

Not what you're looking for?
