A member asked:
Since my 14 year old daughter came back from mexico i have noticed a vertical purple vein more on left side of forehead - what causes this?

That is simple: As that vein has nothing to do with mexico. There are people who have visible veins on the temple are and forehead as well. It can be closed by injections but not in her age. Do nothing at this stage. Sometimes is more visible than other time. All is normal.

Forehead veins.: The veins in the face just as the veins in the rest of the body change in size depending on changes in position as well as changes in levels of hydration and changes in pressure in the chest and abdominal cavity. In the face, the veins decrease with standing and increase with lying down. Straining or laughing increase the the pressure in the chest which can increase the size of the facial veins.
