    Veins in arms and chest show through skin
    Hi, I am a 37 y/o mom of six children and I have been feeling insecure about my looks mainly the veins through my arms and chest area. I am 5ft and 126lbs I thought maybe I needed to loose weight that maybe my skin was thin due to that, but they only show through like that on my arms from the wrist to shoulder and across the top of my chest. It is extremely unattractive they look huge. I am wondering what will work to cover them, losing weight, tanning bed, creams? I hate looking in the mirror and seeing them I know my husband has to think they are terrible he is just too sweet to say so. He just said something about it the other day "goodness sweety your veins are really showing". I don't have high blood pressure I am a healthy person. Can someone help me.

    I have the same thing. It's age (or so I've been told) and there's not much you can do.

    Try a spray on tan, that may help, or a powder foundation.

    A permanent fix, I'm not sure. You could go to a plastic surgeon, see what they can do.

    Good luck. :)

    I don't know what it is. I just noticed that I have the same problem and I'm only 20 I don't think age is the cause. Mine aren't bad all of the time and they seem to show more at night. But when it's at its worst it looks like a road map it goes from my chest down my arms and breasts and on my abdomen but nothing on my legs.

    Well, I am just 16 and my veins show too. Its not age that matters. Your veins will stick out to your skin when you do more exercise. Well, at least that what I was told and it seems true cause I do a lot of exercise. And before I started doing exercises my veins weren't visible. But now it is.

    There's actually no solution here. Just do a plastic surgery
