Could be a varicose vein but I don't really see anything alarming. I don't think I would really notice that. You can get them shrunk I think but veins are important things.

Are you pregnant? This was very common for me in pregnancy

@custardbear i came off my pill a couple of weeks ago but I’m not pregnant, when I am pregnant though I’m very veiny too! Strange maybe it’s hormonal 🤷‍♀️

I think it's blood flow changes, hormones and your body makes more vessels (angiogenesis) - I always look like a blue roadmap lol
