What Causes Blue Veins On Chest And Arms Of A 9 Year Old?

My 9 year old son was standing in the kitchen when I noticed he had bright blue veins showing across his chest and arms. I haven't noticed them like this before. He has passed out a couple of times in the last 4 months, I'm not sure if that is connected with the veins. However he did shower about 20 minutes before I noticed the veins.
