They don’t cause much swelling - the skin around them stays flat or only slightly raised.

That pooled blood creates the discoloration of spider veins visible through the skin. Spider veins occur when small valves inside your veins have trouble pushing blood to your heart, which can cause blood to pool inside the vein instead of flowing through it. They are usually harmless, but many people choose to remove them to have clearer skin. Spider veins are a common condition where blood vessels under the skin appear as red, blue, or purple webs or clusters of thin, squiggly lines.
Other at-home or medical treatments for spider veins can reduce or remove them. You can't remove spider veins with over-the-counter or prescribed pills, creams, or gels.
