Varicose veins is not a problem of the skin. It is cause due to defective valves present within the blood vessels of the legs. So no cream can cure varicose veins. Avoid standing for long. It will reduce your symptoms. However if you need a long term result, please get a Doppler scan done and consult a vascular surgeon. Take care.
