I am a 21y/o F + my skin translucency has ruled my life; I have no confidence as a result + have tried covering them up to no avail. My GP said they are just surface veins + there's no reason why something couldn't be done. H/e a vascular surgeon advised against sclerotherapy + phlebotomy due to associated risks + advised I see another vascular surgeon as there may be an underlying concern as to why I am like I am. Is my vivid network of chest veins a concern + is there a way of treating them?
