does anyone else have small red/purpley veins on breast?

i have them on both but have few more on left breast- this has set my breast anxiety off again :(

I have veins on my chest but that is normal

Yes i do - i have had them for years. The skin on the breasts is quite delicate, and there could be a number if reasons why these veins appear. Perhaps stretching of the skin during pregnancy or breast feeding. It is perfectly normal - nothing sinister. Whenever i have had a particular breast worry, i have taken comfort from the fact if i can feel or see it on both sides then it is highly unlikely to be a problem.

Thanks it just worries me that its more on 1 side :(

I'm kind of hoping that I can see more on left because I'm always touching it

It's normal to be able to see more on one side than the other, as breasts are not identical.
