Does anyone have thick blue bulging veins on the top of both hands

I do but I never gave them much thought, they were more present with age along with wrinkles and brown spots sometimes called liver spots. I would have to say that if someone has these veins at a younger age then I would check with the doctor to be sure all is well.

I have a form of Vasculitis. The one I have in Cuteanous Polyarteritis Nodosa.
There are 15 or 16 types of Vasculitis, and I am just asking which one you have.
Have you been diagnosed with it? It’s an autoimmune condition so it causes all kinds of symptoms .

I have thick bulging blue veins on my hands too. That is NOT Vasculitis. It is part of the aging process! I believe the skin and muscles on our hands normally thin out so our veins are very prominent.
