Veins: What form of contact did you incur?If worried re infection then be seen by a physician ASAP .Veins are usu seen in forearms and lower extremities as these are the most dependent parts,are more frequently exposed & thus visible.If there has been loss of fat below the skin visibility is enhanced.Do you have varicose veins?Get checked out by physical exam.
