I don't mean to sound gross or even squeamish, but I have been noticing that I can see my veins and arteries on my wrists and hands(not back of the hands, the front) fairly easier now. Its kind of grossing me out. lol. I'm just curious if it just may be the skin getting thinner or if it is something else. Just wanting to know what you all think. Thank you!!

Super Hug ;)

Re: Joyce

If you are MTF and have just started on hormones, then the correct answer is that your skin has gotten thinner, making it easier to see what's underneath.

     This also means that you'll tear it easier and see bruises easier.  So, be more careful and move more gently.   ^-^

Yes, and at the same time the veins get a lot thinner.
