To be self conscious of this?

[Vivigigi]

Hi

I’ve got a slightly embarrassing problem which has started in the last few months and got slightly more obvious.

One of the blood vessels on my forehead (vein or artery- not sure) had become more prominent. Obviously if you go upside down and all the blood rushes to your head then your veins etc will pop out, or if you get a blood test at the doctors they put the tight thing round your arm to make the veins pop out- it’s similar to that but my vein/artery is just starting to pop out on its own and it’s obvious on my forehead. If I even bend down momentarily ( for less than 2 seconds) it pops out MASSIVELY and it never used to do that either

im young (mid 20s) and generally in good health, im not overweight (very slightly underweight) and have a healthy lifestyle but I’m not gym or fitness obsessed or a stressed out person. I just have a very normal life.

does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this? It’s slightly embarrassing and a few people have mentioned I look stressed out or angry because my vein is popping out of my head but I’m neither!

I should have said, in case it helps, it’s a thick blood vessel and runs sort of vertically up the centre of my forehead

It's more common than you think. I know a few people who have quite a prominent vein on their forehead and I've never once thought "ewww"!
Everyone has insecurities about themselves but to me that is just normal, some people have them and some people don't. I honestly wouldn't worry although I appreciate that's easier said than done.

Yeah I guess, I think I’m just a bit self conscious because it’s only started recently and is getting worse, im just confused about why it’s started x
