Question 1

random bump on vein. what could that mean?

Accepted Answer

Soft veins: As you know, veins are very soft, so having a bump is unusual. Unless the area is red and tender, what you are feeling is probably something in the same area that is causing the bump such as a cyst on a tendon. Depending on the area you are feeling this. There are lots of structures that run under, next to or as part of the vein as it travels. Observe this unless it has other symptoms that worsen.

Question 2

i have sensitivity, pain on the neck of glans of my penis during erection. its like a small bump on the vein but not painful on the touch. it becomes a problem during sexual contact. its been like this over a month. what action should i take?

Accepted Answer

: You should be evaluated by a urologist for ruling out Mondor's disease.

Question 3

what could a red bump on the vein of the penis be? never had sex

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: It could be a hair follicle, vein abnormality. Even though you are not sexual active/oral/vaginal some infections should still be entertained. Perhaps you could see your doctor for a better opinion. Good luck

Question 4

Please see: Please see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options. This could be many different things.

Question 5

i have two white bumps on the two veins under my tounge and they hurt really bad. having trouble speaking correctly.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor : I would see an ENT specialist or your primary care doctor for an exam. Urgency depends on the severity. Ask about the possibility of salivary gland stones. Hope this helps!

Question 6

scared! hsv1 is 0.90 6 wks post protected sex w/ a sw. i was - at 5 wks. few tiny bumps on lips. bumps + more veins on foreskin. hsv1/2 risk? advice?

Accepted Answer

Question unclear: HSV-1 antibody level of 0.90 is considered negative in situations where 0.90 is in the reference range of "negative" for the lab doing the test. Being negative for HSV-1 usually means a person hasn't caught oral herpes yet. First, people who worry a lot about these things need to stay away from sex workers, or end up worrying 365 days a year. Secondly, many or most adults are positive for HSV-1.

Question 7

on my left foot, there is a pimple looking bump/lump on my vein, what is it? what does it mean (what's its cause) and how do i treat it!?

Accepted Answer

Many things: it could be many things none of them serious if the lump is actually in the vein it may represent a vein valve that becomes inflamed so it will feel like a bump or it could ba a skin lesion happen to be on the top of the vein if you are concern go and see a doctor you will be examined assured or treated good luck

Question 8

i was out side and felt as if i got stung by a bee. when i looked at my leg their was a large bump on my varicose vein. leg was swollen and hot.?

Accepted Answer

Phlebitis: Sounds like phlebitis. This is a clot in a superficisl vein and is associated with pain and inflammation. Usually treated with anti inflammatories, elevation and heat.  Must make sure it is not an infectious process (cellulitis). So see a doctor and make sure you dont need antibiotics.

Question 9

what is the bump in my vein on my upper thigh?

Accepted Answer

a varicose vein: Veins that have texture (you can feel them) and are larger than 3 mm are usually varicose veins.  This is true if they are discolored or not.  These can be removed by a vein specialist or phlebologist.

Question 10

i have a painful swollen bump in a vein on the palm of my hand? the bump appeared about 36 hours ago and continues to get worse. i have not hit it or injuried it in anyway.

Accepted Answer

If : If it's a small thrombosed vein in the skin, it will hurt for a few days and then clear up.  If there are no signs of anything worse, i would give it some time.
