I'm 19 and I've always had a few spider veins on my chest, but in the last year they've been progressing fast. Should I worry?

Asked By:dustinS in Columbus, OH

I'm starting to see my veins in my chest and neck more often and my skin looks like smooth goosebumps constantly with more red in my skin, also when I exercise my capillaries start to leak and I get really red. I'm starting to feel pressure in my upper neck and I'm young so this is starting to worry me. My capillaries break much easier than before
