I have a vein run down the middle of my forehead now for a few years. It never disappears. Can it be treated? & why did it show in the first place?. It's effecting my confidence.

Answer: Forehead vein Yes, this your forehead vein can be treated. Based on the size in the picture, I would recommend sclerotherapy or a microphlebectomy. These are both done in the office with minimal downtime. Find someone experienced with veins, especially facial veins. Veins in the forehead are often a result of genetics. They will become more prominent when you exercise, smile, laugh, etc. due to slightly increased pressure. Good luck to you, Dr. Powell
