Question 1

i'm wondering why are my veins showing through the skin in my legs/feet/breasts?

Accepted Answer

Inherited: You probably are lean, low body fat, and lift weights or work out? Also, as we age, our skin thins with less collagen so we can see veins more, especially when we have fair skin color, inherit tendency. If concerned go see a vein doctor: www.Phlebology.Org or get a physical.
After breast augmentation or other surgeries of the breast or chest, we see more veins too. Usually nothing to worry about.

Question 2

all of a sudden my veins are showing up more than usual in arm. what could this mean? not normally showing.

Accepted Answer

Blood and Veins: It could represent something as small as a weather change. It could be more fluid in the system.  It is more normal for the veins to vary from time to time.  There are many variables as to when veins are engorged or not.

Question 3

question about veins, my veins are really showing tonight and one spot of my leg hurts and..what could this be?

Accepted Answer

DVT, varicose, etc: Painful veins could be many things including: varicose veins, blood clot (superficial or deep -- dvt), thrombophlebitis (inflammation/infection of the veins), an underlying muscle injury, underlying cyst, etc.  See you md to evaluate.

Question 4

causes for prominent veins? over the past few days i've noticed my veins are showing more and more of them are visible everywhere above my pelvis.

Accepted Answer

Veins showing: Veins are closer to your skin surface than arteries are. Maybe like like most young healthy women you are exercising and trying to keep your wt down. In doing that you may be burning some of your subcutaneous fat and so your veins become more prominent. Just a thought. See a dermatologist.

Question 5

i lost i guess muscles around my pelvic area well my waist side and my veins are showing! i have a tingling feeling...is this unhealthy?

Accepted Answer

Sounds ok: When you lose weight, it is common to start to notice your veins in your abdomen, especially if your skin is pale.  It's hard to say more about a tingling feeling without more information but it doesn't sound alarming on its own.  Most serious illnesses will create obvious symptoms or worsening symptoms over time.  That said, if you are worried, it is always helpful to have a professional exam.

Question 6

i have a small bump on my wrist when i move my hand up at an angle as if i was showing someone my veins, i dont know what it is and it doesnt hurt?

Cyst: It could be a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma. It could also be a cyst of a tendon sheath. Whatever it is ,it,s not causing you any problems.Leave it alone.

Accepted Answer

: This may be more than a simple blepharitis. You should be seen by a ophthalmologist ASAP. If you can't get one go to the hospital ER where prompt evaluation is available and, if advisable, an ophthalmologist can be called in.

Question 8

my right knee has been giving lot of pain on or off. my right hand is alway numb. and my veins are alaways showing?

Accepted Answer

What's the question: You mentioned 3 different problems with very little information on each one of them and finally you didn't ask a question. What do you really want to know about these issues?

Question 9

my veins hurt after working out?

Accepted Answer

Swollen muscles: When you workout your muscle your muscles swell a bit and accumulate Lactic Acid . The superficial veins on top of your muscles are drained / drain into deep veins through these muscles. They superficial veins just dont drain  quite as well, and tend to accumulate the Lactic Acid which can cause soreness.  You might try compression sleeves to see if that helps.

Accepted Answer

?fading: Not sure what you mean by fading?  Sometimes, with mild weight gain, the veins can no longer be sen as well.
