What Causes A Red Mark And Protruding Vein On The Back Of The Head?
Hi. I woke up this morning with a red mark on the back of my hand just over an inch long (about 1/8 inch wide) that runs along one of the veins on the back of my hand. I didn t recall hurting it but presumed I must have banged it against something without realizing it. When I look at it closer this evening, I notice that there are very tiny blisters at both ends of the red mark. I definitely didn t burn it. Any idea what this could be?
