What does it mean to have visible veins on your head?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
that is normal: If you have fair skin, it is completely normal to see veins under the skin surface. Light blue veins, in particular, are common and are called reticular veins. Veins you can feel or skin discoloration (darkening) around the veins are abnormal. Otherwise, no need to do anything.

Head veins: Veins are normal on the head and can appear in many areas such as the forehead, temporal areas, cheeks, around the eyes and even on the scalp itself.
