Large blue veins all over hips and legs at 21? (Photo)

acresine
I have these awful blue veins all over my hips and thighs that have rapidly spread from my hips in the past 6 months. I went to a vein doctor and they said they're not varicose as they did an ultrasound on my legs. They told me I'm just pale, but I know tons of people paler than I that don't have this problem. May be genetic, but my parents don't have them either. Is this normal? Can this be treated to remove the appearance? I feel awful about them. 21yo, no kids, 5'5 140lb
