Purple bruise : A few things I have picked up over the years is to correlate the things a patient says with an examination, especially when there are so many possible perspectives of a patient's description. This can be several things, here are a few : blood vessel problem or blood problem. We can relate these to many many conditions.

Question 2

hi dr, i am seeing dark purple veins appearing on left side of chest ? is there any concern i should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

No , just watch if .: Watch if it changes. There is no significance to an enlarged vein unless there is a nearby growth or tumor. Just look around for anything obvious. I doubt if you will find anything as its cause, unless you develop any new symptoms in the future in which case a physical examination should be done with a physician.

Question 3

Normal finding: I am amazed about how often I have women ask me about the veins on their breast.  Occasionally they are spider veins but mostly they are blue veins.

They tend to be more pronounced in fair skinned females and they may be related to hereditary factors or even pregnancies.  No treatment is necessary unless for cosmetics.

Accepted Answer

Sclerotherapy: If you have spider veins and they are localized to your thighs then sclerotherapy is probably indicated.

For best results you should see a vein specialist.
