please and thank you for all those who reply.


Answers:

those are distended veins or varicose veins, it can be corrected by vein stripping for women for aesthetic purposes, but for men, if there's no discomfort they just leave it alone. if it start to bother him, he should see a vascular specialist, sometimes, anti embolic stockings are prescribed, and elevating the legs at night helps.
