““Aʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴠᴇɪɴꜱ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀꜱᴛ ʏᴏᴜ’ᴠᴇ ꜱᴇᴇɴ?”
We hear this all the time. The honest answer: 𝗡𝗢!
Veins come in levels, a bit like a school grading system. Doctors call it 𝗖𝗘𝗔𝗣, but here’s the simple version:
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟭 – Tiny thread veins
Small red or blue lines on the skin.
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟮 – Varicose veins
Lumpy, bulging veins that you can see and feel.
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟯 – Swollen legs
The veins aren’t working well, so the leg holds extra fluid.
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟰 – Skin changes
Brown patches, dryness, or eczema around the ankle.
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟱 – Healed ulcer
The skin once broke down but has healed.
𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝟲 – Active ulcer
The skin is open and needs treatment.
Most people who worry they are “the worst” are usually Level 2 or 3. Both very common and very treatable.
Your veins are never too bad, and they are never too mild to be checked.
