Help docs! i'm trying to find out what causes ppl to have noticeable blue veins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Noticeable blue veins can be very normal. Veins can travel close to the surface of the skin and the color that they appear (bluish or brown) depends on a persons skin tone - people with light skin often have 'bluer' appearing veins. The darker the skin, the darker the veins look.
