Question : Greetings Dr XXXXXXX
my next health issue probably relate to the circulatory system.
since from my childhood I'd blackish/green-black muscle in front central part at both highs.
it didn't hurt or cause me to experience any kind of pain.
I kept things simple as just like that cause I couldn't see any problem with it .
as years passed the muscle kept growing large especially in volume /thickness.
last 2 years ago I suffered from overstress such that it's symptoms were really endanger and bit scary.
I was about to run !
I've took some medicines but didn't work till when I was advised to exercise .
in fact it was really been years without exercising.
I did a lot of sports but mainly running more.
I hustled that for two weeks and started to feel recovering.
from that time I kept trying exercising as much I could apart from this time where it looks pretty reduced due to the work which do not require high mental concentration.
but while from sport,that muscle began to extend and grow bigger in fact it's in phase where you can catch it and feel it even when I'm dressed!
other small muscles sprouted branching from it's sides and I'm afraid they'll will spread through out the whole body
there is also other short-thick muscles originated from the top of the thigh pointing towards east-south or west-south depending on each leg.
the muscles reached the waist.
from running down the thigh, I saw them appearing on the calves, below the knee and I'm now seeing the signs that they'll spreads through out the most entire parts of the leg.
something I can not hide to tell you is how last 3 weeks I felt that muscle itching which caused me to scratch it much but I didn't know t
it was that muscle at first.
I was scratching at the front flat part of the both thigh nearly above the knee.
withing few days i saw like that main muscle has get separated and i could see things like other two muscles resulted from it but not clearly visible.
it will be shown by the last 2-3 pictures.
hope more pictures will facilitate to explain these.
I didn't go to see the doctor but I'm afraid it might not be good.

Brief Answer:
Absolutely normal Mr. XXXXXXX nothing to worry about whatsoever :)
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir.
The images of the slightly protruding structure is of your blood vessels sir. This is absolutely normal, and is present in every normal human being. In some of them it is not as obvious and in some it is more prominent and obvious than yours.
Absolutely nothing to worry about sir, they carry blood to and fro from the heart to different parts of the body and so on. They serve many important functions, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about sir, you can trust me on this.
I am glad there is nothing wrong with you. The prominent blood vessels could probably be because you stand for long durations during the day, which causes them to become a little more prominent than usual. All you need to do is to make sure you sit down every 30 minutes and rest your legs.
I wish you nothing but good health and luck always.
Best wishes Mr. XXXXXXX :)

but I do it really , I don't stand always and can't spent day without sitting down even more than hours but this can't absolutely work and these things are really interfering , I don't want them.
I just want to see them off my body cause they are keep spreading and shaming.
please if you can help me to dig out something which can eliminate them i 'll really appreciate.
I even think high body burns and fatigue I usually experience is associated with these.
help please!

Brief Answer:
It is perfectly normal sir, you should not be ashamed of them at all :)
Detailed Answer:
Hi sir.
These are part of your normal body sir, no human can function without them. Taking them out is not possible at all sir. There is nothing to be ashamed of sir, this is perfectly normal and I do not see why anyone would shame you about it.
I also have them, and it is perfectly normal sir. Do not worry about them. There is a medical fact that states that if you join all the blood vessels in a human body from end-to-end, then the entire length can circle the entire earth twice. So you see, there is no way we can take it out, and there is no way any human can survive without them. It is like saying you want your heart or brain out, and want to continue to live, it is just not possible.
From the images, you seem like a strong and athletic man, and I am sure your presentation will attract any woman, and the blood vessels that you are so worried about are a sign of good health and an athletic nature, which will make you very desirable for women. :)
You have nothing to worry about sir. You are safe and healthy, thats all that matters. :)
Best wishes.
