Prominent Visible Veins

Hi,
My son is now aged 14. I've noticed pronounced, visible veins on his right shoulder. I first noticed them when he was a baby. Whenever he cried, the veins would become even more pronounced and instead of just his shoulder veins being pnonounced, theveins on his WHOLE right torso ( down to his groin ), would become pronounced. I was told that it was 'cosmetic'. Can it actually be due to some kind of blockage?
Can someone please advise me, Many thanks.

Spider veins- are a group of widened veins that can be seen through the surface of the skin. The wheel-and-spokes shape of the veins resembles a spider. Also known as spider telangiectasia.
