Visible veins

Does anyone else’s child have pretty visible veins? My little boy is nearly 2 and they’re visible on his chest, which I think is quite common but also on his shoulders, which I haven’t noticed on other children. I’d love to know if anyone else’s child has visible veins. Do they have them on their shoulders?

Thank you!

Both my sons have quite a few visible veins on their chest, shoulders, and lower back. My eldest has a very prominent vein on his face too. I've been wondering too from time to time if it's normal...their doctor isn't concerned. What does your doctor think?

Hello,
my son also has visible veins in his lower back. Chest/shoulders not as much, but somewhat.
Are your sons skinny? Fair skinned? My son is in the 15% percentile for BMI and pretty pale.
Also, are they hyper-mobile at all?

Regards,
Sabrina

Looks like they are just fair skinned.
