Is it normal to have veins on your legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is quite normal to have visible veins on your legs especially if you are fair skin and or thin. Varicose veins which are enlarged and twisted veins are not common at 16 years but can occur however they dont look like normal veins. Hope that helps.
