I am 30 years old, do cardio and yoga, and an average/thin weight. I noticed about 2 weeks ago my veins have been bulging out from the time I wake up every day. They used to be lightly visible at times, now they are very visible and bulge out Almost all the time. Could I get sclerotherapy for the big ones in my forearm/hand? I took bcp for 3 months and stopped right after I noticed it. I also got sclerotherapy on a few veins that were visible under a scar on my leg. Could it be related?
