What Causes Painful Bump On The Arm During Pregnancy?
Tonight I noticed a bump on my arm that looked like pimple. I squeezed it, and not much came out...an hour or two later I noticed 2 red lines running from the bump. they looked like veins, but the rest of my veins are bluish colored...they are getting more faint, but I am pregnant, and want to make sure I shouldn t be worried

Hello ma'am and welcome.
First of all, do not burst any pimple like structure as it can lead to infection. As of now, there should be nothing to worry about. Just make sure you keep the area clean and dry, and apply a warm compress and if possible a topical antibiotic agent like neosporin.
The veins are just in response to bursting it that caused irritation. Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
