I had veins around the mid to upper arm but after getting a blood test draw then my veins disappeared. will my green veins in my arm come back eventually? my left arm has many veins because i never got a blood draw there?

Q: i had veins around the mid to upper arm but after getting a blood test draw then my veins disappeared. will my green veins in my arm come back eventually? my left arm has many veins because i never got a blood draw there?

: Sometimes the veins being used in a blood draw collapse but this is usually temporary. Sometimes they will scar but this would cause them to recede but become more rope like when you feel them. I think your veins in that arm should eventually return to normal size.
