A member asked:

I have a small lump in my vein in my vein on top of my forearm. i don't recall hitting it. could it be a blood clot? should i worry?

Valve?: Everybody has a few valves here. Occasionally a bit of a surface vein can clit but these are not dangerous. If it stays around for two weeks or is uncomfortable now, get seen -- if there's discomfort use warm compresses until you are seen.
