A member asked:

Seeing prominient veins in hands and burning sensation. what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

loss of fat: Subcutaneous fat naturally atrophies over time. Think of the difference between the cheeks of a baby and a 90 year old man. These make veins which are normally occurring in the hand more visible. These can be removed, for cosmetic reasons, by a vein specialist or phlebologist.
