What Causes Dark Blue Veins On Upper Arm With Bruise Around It?
I am 28 years old, female, 5 3 , 112 lbs, I have had very prominent dark blue veins only on my upper left arm for 3 days now. Also throbbing in the same place, but no pain. There is also a very bad, but small bruise in the same area, but not on the really dark blue veins, it s next to them.
