What Causes Visible Veins On Arms And Legs?
For a few years I notice my now 12 yo has very visible veins in his arms and legs (cheeks are a little dark-rosy sometimes). These are not the typical varicose veins that you see in older people, but just beneith the skin and and cover his extremeties. Is this something I should neb concerned about.

Hello. I just read through your question.
Visible veins in an otherwise healthy child are nothing to be concerned about. These are especially common in patients with fair or pale skin. Again, as long as he is otherwise developing normally, there is nothing to worry about.
