I have a sore and bulging vein in my right palm. what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand Veins: Hand veins in the palm are not common but do occur. Often they are due to trauma and many times causes are unknown. If they are bothersome then local care with wet heat and ibuprofen may help. If no improvement then usually they can be injected with a solution to dissolve them (sclerotherapy). A last resort would be removal by micro incisions.
