Very normal. Children have very thin skin around their eyes. It's just veins and blood vessels showing through.

IME completely normal. My son’s eyes would go purple if he was very tired or a bit run down when he was young.

Ive worked with hundreds of children over the years and this is very normal and common in pale skinned kids

In my experience its very normal. Eyelids are very thin and its easy to see veins through them

I’m so sorry for your loss and can understand why you feel anxious.

I can assure you that, as a fair skinned, blonde person, my eyelids have looked like that, with visible veins and a blue/purple cast, for my whole life, and I’m now in my mid-50s and perfectly healthy.
