Dear sir,
you didn't mentioned your age,are you diabetic?, any injury? any pain or swelling? usually these are normal, in case they are too much prominent and you are having pain get venous colour doppler of your lower limb to know the status of veins.if they are not causing any problem than nothing to worry about.

Dear sir,
