Question 1

blue veins/bruising under eyes rapidly more noticeable. some swelling under eye. what could it be and can i fix it?

Accepted Answer

Head injury?: If you have bruising under both eyes and have recently had a head injury you need to get checked out by a doctor right away as this could be related to a skull fracture. If you just notice prominent blood vessels under your eyes this is a cosmetic issue you should talk with your doctor about.

Question 2

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 3

the skin under my eye transparents and i can see my blue veins. can that be removed???

Accepted Answer

Yes probably: There are certain types of lasers that can remove certain types of veins near the surface.  You would need to see a dermatologist or cosmetic or plastic surgeon expeienced in laser treatments to see if it would work for you.

Question 4

noticed blue veins on my 5w baby's right side of the head that feel dented to the touch. i'm scared because i don't know what they are. please explain?

Accepted Answer

Newborn head: The veins are easy to see and feel on a newborns head. Also, the head can be misshapen fro the trip down the birth canal. This does not sound like anything to worry about. But for your piece of mind, have your pediatrician examine the baby.

Question 5

why do my veins in my wrists neck head ankles and feet feel tender and swollen. lots of blue veins in my legs both baricose and spider. what causes?

Accepted Answer

Maybe bad valves : One reason is xs fluid or poor heart function. However at your age if you are in good health and active , poorly functioning valaves in the veins of your legs may cause blood to pool there . This would not explain the veins in .your arms and neck Sometimes normal veins arr prominent in thin people

Question 6

what causes the blue veins on a female's boobs to be more visible?

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 or even pregnancies.  No treatment is necessary unless for cosmetics.

Question 7

very visible dark blue veins especially on left arm and wrist.

Accepted Answer

Normal: This is likely normal and depends on the hue and thickness of your skin.

Question 8

last night i noticed visible blue veins on the left & right sides of my stomach. above my pelvics. and in my boobs. what is this? never had it before

Accepted Answer

Veins: What you describe sounds like veins in the skin. Most likely normal. But if a recent /sudden change, I would recommend seeing your doctor. Hope this helps. Best of luck

Question 9

i have very visible blue veins in my legs. they are not bulging but i can see them thru the skin. they are sensitive when i touch them. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

: Have your doctor check for varicose veins.  Pain or sensitivity could be signs of thrombophlebitis, but this would be acute  or subacute, not chronic.  Ask your doctor about this disorder potential.
