Question 3

question about my daughter she's 7 and i've noticed blue veins visible around mouth and under chin some what goes along her jaw line?very visible

Accepted Answer

Normal: Children often times have very visible veins on their face usually because their skin is fair and the blue veins are easily seen.  As they grow and the skin changes these veins should become less obvious and prominent.  This appears to be a normal variant.

Question 4

can blue veins become visible on breasts before period? i am on mirena (levonorgestrel) and period due in 2 days. took several hpts all negative

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hi! Yes, the hormones of your pre-period cause your body to prepare for pregnancy. You can have several of the same symptoms of pregnancy prior to a cycle, though they are usually milder. If you don't have your usual cycle, however, do check for pregnancy. IUD's don't prevent pregnancy 100%.

Question 5

why are blue veins mire visible in breasts feet and hands over last two weeks. not pregnancy. on period now?

Accepted Answer

Normal finding: I am amazed about how often I have women ask me about the veins on their breast.  Occasionally they are spider veins but mostly they are blue veins.  These are almost always normal findings and normal variations of chest veins.  They tend to be more pronounced in fair skinned females and they may be related to hereditary factors, levels of hydration and even temperature changes.

Question 6

27 yr old f, fair skinned w blue visible veins throughout body. noticed veins after taking two courses of antibiotics. what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Veins: This was not caused by taking antibiotics and has probably been there for some time and only noticed because of your recent infections.  Let your doctor take a look. It may help to be reassured. Best wishes.

Question 7

noticed quite a few new blue visible veins all over body, but especially on inside of right arm. sign of dehydration or something more serious?

Accepted Answer

Probably not serious: Dehydration is very common.  Signs of dehydration include feeling thirty, dry mouth, poor skin tone, light-headedness, decreased urination.  More severe dehydration may cause headache, stomach pain, and/or passing out.  Drink lots of water.  Try to keep yourself well hydrated by never allowing yourself to feel thirsty.  If the blue veins are no longer visible, then it probably is dehydration.

Question 8

i see on my penis lot of blue veins are clearly visible even when flaccid. is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Likely normal: The penis is a very vascular organ (lots of veins), so this likely is normal; however, if you are experiencing any pain, hard nodules over the veins, any major changes in the number or color of the veins, or anything else concerning, it would be worth having a physician take a look. Good luck to you!

Question 9

what causes blue veins to become visible under the eyes and can they be removed?

Accepted Answer

Middle age problem: Get plenty of exercise, eat well, get plenty of rest, avoid multiple hours in front of computer, avoid smoking or smoke filled rooms, avoid too much sun exposure. Sometimes even following all these guidelines thin skin can reveal underlying veins.  If these are normal veins they will be hard to remove. If they are spider veins then laser treatment may be available. A photo would be helpful.

Question 10

slightly visible blue vein on my leg. is this a varicose vein?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: Varicose veins are large, bulging grape-like veins while blue veins which are not large, bulging or grape-like are usually reticular or feeding veins.  These blue veins are essentially the veins between the small spider veins and the larger varicose veins.You should see a vein specialist for an evaluation.
