What Causes Protruding Veins And Severe Itchiness On The Wrist And Hands?
I'm a 55 yo woman. My veins bulge a little in the wrist area as well as the top of my hands. Over the past week or so I have been experiencing severe itching and a little burning sensation. It feels like it is under the skin and in or very close to my veins. There does not appear to be anything like a rash on the skin. They are not excessively dry either.

humidity related changes in certain skin areas .
