Is there a solution for bulging veins on my arms? (Photo)

Question

I have these big bulging vein on my arms and as a young lady can be very embarrassing. They appear more when am in heat but disappear with cold surrounding. Also they disappear when I raise my arms, or rest them on something. Am 21 years. My photo didn't really show much as they are worse under the sun.

Bulging veins on your upper extremity seems to be there because you are lean and have little body fat. It is normal. You have to weight the benefit of treating these with sclerotherapy or microphlebectomy with risk of developing hyperpigmentation or keloid formation.Dr Karamanoukian

John Landi, MD · Answer

The pictures that you show are normal arm veins and their reaction to heat and elevation are normal.  These can be treated by either sclerotherapy or laser ablation or a combination of both but this would strictly be done for cosmetic reasons.
