A member asked:
Is there any reason as to why my veins are so visible? (you can see them through my arms and legs and they are very vibrant)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on many factors.The veins in your arms may be more visible at certain times versus other times. The leg veins could be secondary to venous insufficiency. However, you are 16 years old and this is highly unlikely. If you are very thin that could be another reason why.
