Are these green veins on my calf normal? (photos)

April 18, 2022
Asked By:cheezecakeish in Gardena, California

I recently noticed there are visible green veins on my left calf. Are these green veins normal? What are they? I'm a 27 year-old woman (BMI 18.8), and I don't have any known health conditions. I don't drink or smoke and exercise regularly, but I have a desk job.
