A member asked:
What is making my veins to show up so much?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fair skin 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.
