Not to worry: This may be age related. They do not pose a health risk. If they are of concern consult a dermatologist for possible treatment.

Age: As we age, the skin thins out and we can see veins on our face, hands, chest. They can be aggravated or enlarged with dilation of the vessel with weightlifting, heat, etc....But mostly genetics. Injection sclerotherapy can treat these areas to decrease the size, therefore reduce the appearance. See a vein specialist: www.Phlebology.Org or www.Morrisonvein.Com.
