A member asked:
Why do my veins in the back of my hands often look puffy? not all the time though.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely normal: For most people, bulging hand veins are normal and a cosmetic issue, and the veins in their arms and hands are functioning normally. If they are not hurting and there is no obvious infection and involves only the veins ,it is normal.Some individuals veins are more prominent.
