A member asked:
One of my veins looks like it's about to burst! help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Ice or cool compresses and compression over the area will help decrease the size of the vessel quickly - but are temporary treatments. The big question is why does it look like that? Was there an injury to the area or body part? Is it a varicose vein? Definitive treatment will depend on the cause.
