I have two questions, can varicose veins be related to PN? I have not read anywhere they are but just wanted to make sure. What kind of doctor should I see for the varicose veins, not dermatologist i hope?

Now, its official what i have been hearing from my aunties when i was growing up that all sorts of physical discomforts will manifest when you reach age 50. well, i thought then, i could prove them wrong. They are correct, at least in my case and in most of us in our family.
