Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I would like to know why my veins are so visible. I have fair skin which could be the reason, but I see a lot of white people whose veins are not noticeable. And I am talking about usual green or blue veins, not spider veins because I am only 20. Does it have to do anything with my health? Is there a treatment? Which doctor am I suppose to see?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your case (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Since you have not taken any treatment for any diseases and almost all veins are visible then you need not worry. This phenomenon is exaggerated in some individuals. Surely this will not do any harm to your health, as these are visible for a very long time and they will persist for your life. One more thing veins of feet are becoming more prominent because feet are dependent areas. When we stand we exert all pressure on feet. As a result blood flow to vessels here increases, and it becomes more prominent. You do not need to see any more doctor except reassurance.
