A member asked:
My son has one very prominent blue vein stemming from his elbow going all the way to his thumb. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal finding: If his doctor hasn't mentioned it after multiple exams, as should have happened in routine childhood physicals up to now, apparently there is no reason to be worried about. You can remember to mention it next time to be reassured again. Feel good
