The image in the second link supports my suspicion that these are veins rather than the temporal artery that you can see, At your age it is extremely unikely that you have GCA. Have a read of the links I have given, I can't see what makes you think a neurologist is appropriate though.

What level of physical activity are you at? What have you done regularly and strenuously this past month. Agree it appears to be veins and not unusual if you push yourself. Any other symptoms?

It won’t be GCA because you are much too young thankfully. Many people have visible arteries. Are you unwell at all?You could seek reassurance from a doctor, but unless there is pain and other symptoms I imagine that you are fine. Do you visit the gym? I have seen prominent veins/ are ties on athletes a lot. ( arteries) it wouldn’t let me correct.
