non-ovary related health question...i think you ladies can help!

I have an unrelated health question.


I have recently noticed that I can see alot of veins through my skin on the back of my knees. None are bulging out liek varicose veins.

I am a little worried about them. Can other people see veins through their skin on the backs of the knees? I am only 23. Thanks!

I'm afraid I got them in my teens, reckon it's all the time spent on my feet working in retail then running around college.

Welcome to the world of the human body.  Vericose veins can be little blue and think usually seen at the backs of the knees and around the ankles.  Not much to be one about the little ones.  Once they get big and ugly and ropy then something can be done.  Yes, even though you're young, you've got 'em.
