visible veins toddler

[Zeusee1]

Hi does anyone’s toddler have visible vein? My daughter has some on her chest and hands. Can’t see a few on her feet too. Thanks x

Yes... Everyone in my family has visible veins. It's normal if you have pale skin.

Everyone has visible veins on occasion or all the time. You're not the poster who wanted a load removed from her legs are you because they looked unsightly are you?

hi thanks for the replies. No i’m not the poster who wanted veins removed from legs x

Totally normal
I can see them on both my youngest children and on myself.

Hi Can I ask on what areas of the body ? Just abit concerned as In my daughter they are visible in a few areas. Thanks

My kids veins seemed to disappear as they got older.
They just have the odd ones on the forehead now, which become more visible when tired or ill.

This seems to be bothering you a lot, have you tried asking your health visitor?

My DD (8) has always had visible veins. Her chest area is like a spider web. She has very pale skin so I assume this is why.

My child has a visible vien from birth that I originally thought was a bruise when she and friends have wandered if it's a bruise too.

Like goodnight grandma says it comes and goes with tiredness

Yes my sons skin was virtually translucent until he began going topless in the sun from time to time even through the sunscreen he tanned slightly and now his skin looks more normal

All 3 of my DC are very pale and have very visible veins. My middle DC has prominent ones on her chest and forehead/temples.
What do you think the issue might be? What do you think visible veins might be a symptom of?

Visible vien is on the top of her nose/ between her eyes. Where it could be bruised.

My DD is very fair and has them on her face, especially eyelids. She's very proud of them and says they make her special. I think they're beautiful 🥰

Hi everyone thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I’ve spoken to the health visitor who has told me that it is common in children to have visible veins as they can have thinner skin. I was initially concerned as I hadn’t noticed any children with visible veins on their hands and just thought it seemed unusual x

Both my 2 do, especially my redhead...

As someone who regularly has to stick needles in children, I can absolutely assure you that hands are one of the first places we look for veins, because you can usually see veins on children's hands.

Thank you x

I can see my own veins through my hands :)

Thank you BertieBotts x

Yes, my youngest has some visible veins on one side of his jaw.

Yes they tend to face as they get older although not completely if they are pale. We have a very blonde dd in our class who you can see loads of her face veins. I'm old and olive skinned though and I can see the veins in my hands and wrists, feet and ankles so not solely limited to the pale and young

*fade not face

Thinking about it dd has a good old network on her chest and she's pretty olive skinned too
