Question 8

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 9

my husband noticed that his tongue looks like black veins underneath. is this normal? he has no pain

Accepted Answer

Veins under tongue: It is normal to have darkened looking veins under the tongue.  Veins are carrying blood without oxygen, which gives the dark color.  However it is always best to have an examination to ensure that no other problems in the mouth exist.  Take care.

Question 10

why would the veins under my tongue be dark in colour?

Accepted Answer

Common: This is common and most likely normal.  There is a large number of superficial veins just below the under surface of the tongue.  This is the reason that medications can be absorbed into the blood stream by placement medications "under the tongue".  The overlying skin of the base of the tongue is very thin.  Thus, veins may look prominent and dark in color.
