What Causes Visible Vein Extending From Hairline To Nose?
Question: Vertical vein from hairline to above nose has appeared in last week. It is seen under the skin but is not bulging at all. What is cause and is treatment necessary?
Brief Answer:
It is normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
There is a network of veins on face and skull area.
Sometimes in fair individuals a few of these become prominently visible.
It's a normal thing and no treatment is required.
Slowly it will resolve on its own.
I would like to see a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in ruling out any other disease.
Please upload a photograph.
Thank you.
