A member asked:
I could see my blue veins clearly thru my skin. is it normal?or it's my skin just so transparent? i have fair skin.

Maybe: if you are fair skinned then it will be quite normal to see veins. Not much to do but apply make up to cover the areas. They are not dangerous. If veins bulge they may have reflux and require treatment. A proper evaluation is key.
