Very low subcutaneous fat

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I am 21 years old (an ectomorph). I am 5 ft 8. And I weigh 57kg (which is very low). Another problem that I find specific to myself is that I have almost negligible subcutaneous fat. Large amounts of veins are visible particularly in my arms (compared to other slim people this number is quite large) I never gain any amount of fat no matter how much I eat. My six pack abs are never lost. My upper body is feeble though. It looks like my face lost fat tissue. Is there any treatment or medicine to gain subcutaneous fat?
