Hi.
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Thank you for your question.
The swellings of veins could be due to a few different causes.
It could be venous insufficiency or Deep venous problems. If you could send a picture of the affected area it would help me to diagnose what is the problem and advice you management accordingly.
Also do let me know as to since when the problem has happened and whether he is suffering from any other diseases.
I will wait for your response.
