A member asked:
Is it normal for a 5 year old to have visible dark veins in the forehead?

Usual its ok: if these are new and very dark they can be of concern. If they are light blue and have always been there probably ok..

Fair kid: This is not at all unusual for a child with fair skin. Superficial veins can be noted all over the face and head in light skinned blonde kids.
