Brief Answer:
Distended skin veins due to bloating

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

You seem to be developing distension of veins due to bloating of abdomen and liver pathology.
This is a very common skin manifestation seen in patients with fluid retention in abdomen due to liver causes.

You simply need to get the underlined cause treated which is the liver pathology .

For the skin,apply plenty of moisturizing lotion over the abdomen .
In case there is itching, mix cortisone cream with moisturizing lotion and apply over abdomen twice daily.
As the liver parameters return to normal and the bloating decreases,the skin will also start becoming normal.
