Overly Tight Externally Worn Garments
Tight garments can cause spider veins. Tights, socks, pantyhose, and other constricting articles of clothing can cause the blood vessels to become narrow. The legs are especially susceptible to spider vein formation due to the heavy pressure exerted by tight, restrictive clothing.
There is a direct link between the pressure on the legs and the formation of varicose veins. As the blood vessels narrow and twist, they become blue and tender because they are stretched beyond their capacity. As a result, they burst open and take on a spider-like appearance. Medical attention is required if you damage your skin, nerves, and muscles.
