Prominent Veins on babies face?
Hi,
I have six month old twin girls who have both got prominent blue veins on the bridge of their noses. One twin has them worse than the other and to be honest it's the first thing you see when you look at her face. They have both had them since not long after they were born and have certainly not faded, infact in the last week they have both developed very very faint new ones in the same area.
I have been told by at least 2 doctors that have seen them for different reasons that it is nothing to worry about and that they will fade (which i find hard to believe) but since these new ones have started i have been worrying that there is something else going on?
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
The baby that is affected worse also has eczema on her face, could this be connected?
I am going to take them to see the doctor this week but fully expect to be fobbed off so just thought it would be interesting to see if any of you ladies have come accross this before?
Thanks for reading xx

It's great to know that it is common. I just get myself paranoid sometimes that it cold be a sign of something worse.
I also worry that if it is still the same as it is now when she starts school she may get bullied for looking different or something! Probably being really stupid, i know!
On the bright side it is the only way that hubby & I can tell the twins apart so goodness knows whar we will do if the veins do dissapear
sorry to not be of much help but it seems to me that it's not rare.
Google sugar bug, it's a real thing!
I have a 15 week old with the same thing, 3 dark veins going down his nose and eczema on his face, i wonder what it is
