Thank you for asking!
Venous engorgement is nothing to worry about unless there is a symptom or trouble. it is normal. even temperature changes can do that. Stop worrying. Many veins are predominant under skin and visible and there is no harm in it. Everybody have them . Drawing blood for a living though needs a little care to avoid any un necessary pricks . Get yourself vaccinated and immunized for all blood transmissible disease to be on the safer road.
take care
