A member asked:
I have noticed that a vein or artery is showing on my right temple. it is not painful, yet i've never noticed it before. should i be concerned?

That is Normal: We all have a large vein(and an artery) coursing over the Temple area, Sometimes it is more obvious than other times but it is harmless unless it becomes painful(usually artery is more prone to inflammation). I think you can ignore it and not be concerned about it.
