Visible veins on my hands/arms
in Health ·
Maria Palmer13, if I were you, I’d start being incredibly cautious about exposing your hands to harsh chemicals and constant water contact right away. I mean, seriously, if you absolutely have to deal with them, please just wear gloves. Once you cross that line into dealing with atopic dermatitis or any other kind of skin irritation, you’re basically walking blindly into a dead end. These things are notoriously slow to heal—if they even heal at all—and most of the creams and medications people turn to end up being more detrimental to your overall health than helpful, which just lands you in a much deeper hole. So, please, just protect your hands and stick to using some really neutral, gentle moisturizers.
Now, regarding those veins—assuming I caught everything correctly from what you mentioned about the back of your hand. My own veins have been quite prominent for years, but back before everything started acting up, they actually looked somewhat normal. However, once the first signs of dermatitis appeared and started spreading, the appearance of my veins took a significant turn for the worse. That sense of symmetry I used to have between my left and right hands? Completely gone.
And, for what it's worth, I also struggle with low blood pressure, though I suppose I'm not entirely sure if that has anything to do with it.
