What Does Purple Vein Appearing On Chest Of An Infant Mean?
My 27 month old has these dark purple veins that go all across her chest. They are so dark and her skin is so white that it so visible and people always ask what s wrong with her!! She was not a chubby baby, she was breast fed exclusively for 5 months and then introduced to food but still breast fed until 16 months. It almost looks like she is wearing a giant necklace with lots of chains. Is this a sign of some kind if disease?

hi..
just visible veins in a fair and thin child is common. it is not a matter of concern, unless there is facial swelling or problem during sleep. nothing much to worry about it.
kindly upload the photos and i can clarify your doubts.
