Purple tiny veins on arms

Hi all

I don't know if this is normal but I have loads of little interest purple veins (potentially spider veins) in my forearms starting in my inner arm crease and going upwards. Not sure when they first appeared to be honest.

Is this normal? Google is vague and I can't get a doctors appointment for anything at the moment so looking for some reassurance?

For context I'm early 20s and then obese

I'm also very very pale so can normally see all my veins anyway!

I think those are just veins...

Are you anxious about your health generally? I ask because I have literally never once wondered whether my veins are normal Confused

@MONSTERSALAD yes I am. No denying it. I've suffered badly with health anxiety since covid

Loads of my veins are visible like that. My daughter's are very visible on her eyelids, where she has delicate, pale skin. I think you're safe!

Thank you. I've always been very pale so am used to seeing veins everywhere just don't think I've paid attention to these before
