A member asked:
I have visible red/purple veins (spider veins?) all over my legs arms and butt and also some visible long green veins as well could this be because i am very underweight (bmi 15.4)

BMI 15.4: Being "underweight" I assume you are not eating or working out properly. You MUST see your Primary doctor as soon as possible. Please let me know how things go.
