Not a spider vein!

I saw one today which hasn't ever been there. What could be the reason? I always hear that it's from standing too much.. I do a lot walking, and workout 6days a week.. Any thoughts as to how to reduce it?

    I use to do ballet and interestingly enough...wearing to tight of clothing is also linked with spider veins. Some of my fellow dancer (who never gained the sort of weight I did) have slews of spider veins due to tight clothing. Another big culprit is crossing legs. Don't get too hung up on them. My 7 year old has them and I'm starting to think it's also genetics.
