A member asked:

For six years i've had a large spot on my forearm vein that balloons. it hurts especially if it gets hit, is this an aneurysm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is a varix: Aneurysms usually refer to ballooning of arteries not veins. Rarely do they develop in the arteries of the upper arms.
