The vessels may have looked bigger and darker if you had got too hot, as they also serve as a form of heat exchanger with the surrounding environment.

I could be wrong, but I'm not too concerned about it myself.

I just had a regular check up, and my Doctor's opinion was almost word for word for what Paul.cov posted.

Her reaction was a little different concerning some of the previous diagnoses in this thead, along the lines of Dr Google and others should be shot ... one helpful comment was that those of us on a daily dose of cartia or aspirin can expect to see slightly more prominent veins.

So there. :)
