A member asked:
My son (14) has a vain that bulges out of his forehead when he smiles, it started when he started puberty (1 year ago), will he grow out of this?

Unlikely: Normal variant. Some people have lighter skin and low body fat so the veins are more apparent, visible. Keep smiling!

Too early to predict: He may as he continues to grow and develop, but cannot predict with certainty this early.
