Suddenly Noticeable Veins?
Hi!
I am skinny, and pale. Recently I noticed that the veins on my legs have become very prominent and blue. They aren't varicose veins though. Any suggestions on how to make them go away? Thanks.

Thanks for your help, but I am young, it wouldn't have to do with age. Could it be that I started drinking lots and lots of water? I stopped that though.

Hello,
Sudden prominence of veins is found in thin people, with increasing age, smoking and medical conditions like varicose veins. It is very difficult to confirm a diagnosis without examination, so my advice would be to consult a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
