If your veins are visible, but you can't actually feel them under the skin, are they considerd varicose? All my veins are visible all over my body, but especially in my legs and chest. They seem to be getting more visible as i get older and new ones keep coming up. If they aren't actually varicose, can you still get them injected? People tell me it's cos i have fair skin, but even if i put fake tan on, you can still see them. Plus, i've seen dark skinned people with visible veins. I think my veins must be too close to the surface. I'm talking about the blue ones, not spider veins, although i do have those too. But the blue ones bother me more.
