Varicose veins

Are scleroderma patients more susceptible to varicose veins because of their hardened blood vessels? Can scleroderma patients undergo treatment for these veins or is it not recommended? I read a post that said it was not advisable but I don't know why. Any information would be helpful before I contact my GP although I don't know when that will be given the current circumstances.
