A member asked:
When i stretch my skin a bit a clearly visible web of veins appears from my hip to waist. this happens on both sides. i'm skinny. vascular problem?

Probably normal.: When you stretch the skin is made taut and the veins can be more easily visible. Especially since this occurs on both sides and since you are thin it is most likely a normal variation
