Suggest Treatment For Bulging Vein In Knuckle

I have what looks like a bulging vein on top of my knuckle, like a tight blood filled blister. It is firm. It has been there unchanging for several weeks. I dont remember any specific incident that might have caused bruising. sometimes it is painful but usually not more than an ache. uncomfortable if I touch or knock it by accident. is this likely to resolve by itself?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bulging vein in knuckle. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Aagenaes syndrome allergic reaction , cellulitis , dermoid cyst , gout or lymphadenitis .

Doctor may prescribe anti inflammatory , or recommend surgical removal under local anesthesia . For now apply warm compresses .
