A member asked:
Yesterday i noticed that one of the veins in the palm of my hand was dark and alittle swollen, should i worry about it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not : Veins can be prominent where there is less fatty tissue. If it's not bothering you, there should not be a cause of worry. If still concerned, consult a physician.
