What Causes Dark Blue Veins In The Legs And Groin Area In Kids?
yes. My son is 11 and extremely dark blue veins appeared on his legs tonight from his ankles to his groin. They look like a blue magic marker was used. He just started taking 10 mg of Lexapro last week. He also has asthma. What might this be from?

Patients on anti asthmatic drugs have bronchitis dilatation along with basic dilatation.That's why they may get prominent veins.Secondaly, during attacks of bronchial asthma intrathoracic pressure increases leading on to pooling of blood in the peripheral veins.
