I scraped my elbow on pavement today. a vein has slightly swollen, with the skin surrounding it. the vein is dark-reddish, skin is brown. is this bad?

Sounds ok: This seems like a normal hematological healing process. If you see signs of infection like pus or increasing redness of the skin around the spot, see MD.
