What Could Cause Sudden Visibility Of Veins (prominently) On Forearms?
Hello.. I am African American and I m fair skin.. As of late for the first time I ve been able to see my veins very well which appear green and at the hands blue.. Also my forearm ( wrist area)looks as if it has gotten smaller. And I m also feeling like I m not necessarily loading wieght but havnt gained weight being that I lift weights. Thoughts ??

Hello...
visible veins over forearm may be quite normal.... as u don't have any trauma or any local or axillary injury or any systemic diseases the visibility of veins do not suggesting any problems....
though we can confirm it by color duplex scan for upper limb to confirm any pathology...
thanks...
