A member asked:
Is having blue veins on breasts and lumps on nipple normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
