submission purposes (misspelled): Dialated Veins Sclerptherapy Reticular veins are also referred to as ‘blue veins’ or ‘feeder veins.’ This condition occurs when dilated veins allow the outgoing blood to flow the opposite direction (backward). This increase in the pressure causes the veins to become enlarged. They can also twist and cause green or blue lines beneath the skin‚ which often creates an unsightly marbling effect.
