What Causes Arm Vein Prominence And How To Treat It?
My friend has a red vain going up her arm. Some doctors say that once the red vain reaches her heart, she ll die. I m not sure if that s right and they don t even have a diagnosis for her. Do you possibly know what it means? What is it? And if there are any cures/treatments?

this probably an inflamation and thrombosis of the arm vein which needs a course of anticouagulation for 3 months and hirudin cream plus some investigation to identity if there are associated serious diseases
