Suggest Treatment For Raised Vein And Pain In Arm
I have had a raised vein and pain from my arm pit to my elbow this is the second time this has happened now and told my doctor of this last time it happened and he said that sometimes it can occur when you shave under your arms and it can cause a blockage in your glands (i think) it has now happened again in both arms anf results in bruising

Hi. The advice given by your Doctor is absolutely true. If you do shaving it can lead to these problems. So avoid shaving and for the time being take anti-inflammatory medicines and Heparin ointment can be applied. Also use warm compresses if there is pain. Take care and feel free to contact us again if it persists.
