A member asked:
My son is 15 and noticed that the vein on his inner forearm from his elbow toward his wrist is sore to touch and now it is lumpy. what could this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: Or clotting in the vein. This is not a typical event and should, if not resolved with warm compresses on a day or two, prompt a visit to his doctor. If the area becomes red and warm, do see a doctor sooner .
