ukgentMay 10, 2013
Hi, I am a 34 yr old male and havedeveloped some visible veins on and around my eyelid area, Ive never noticed them before. Are there any health conditions which could cause such development? I am currently on a course of Flucanzole however I dont necessary think this is related, my eyes have felt a slight burning sensation but it is hayfever season of which I suffer. Im feeling terribly depressed about the state of my skin what if any are my treatment options? Thank you all for any input
