A member asked:
I have a vein on the left side of my forehead that is visible, and sometimes it pulsates. it is close to my skin and i can feel it. is this normal?

Yes: This is fairly common. I think it's probably from little communications from the nearby temporal artery. If you feel well, don't be concerned about it.
