Veins????????

my 14 yr old niece's veins show through her legs (you know, kind of like an old lady). is there anything we can do to make them not visible? what causes this? is it really bad to happen at such a young age?

Is there a history of varicose veins in your family? Do they hurt her, or does her legs hurt? If so they could be varicose veins. If they bother her, she should see her doctor or a dermatologist.
Varicose veins are enlarged veins commonly found close to your skin's surface. Self-help measures can prevent them from getting worse; removing them is an option. Here is a website for varicose veins. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/varicos... Although she sounds too young to really have them. My father has had his since before I was born.

You can buy a cream for vericous veins over the counter if that's what it is. If she's self-conscious about it, you could take her to a doctor/dermatologist and see what they suggest. I've not idea if it's a problem.
