What Causes Lump On A Vein In Arm?
I have a lump on a vein in my arm about 2-3 inches above my left wrist. I think last week it burst at some point, as I had severe bruising in my wrist, but it came back and is larger. I ve had this before, but it never burst before. I ve had carpal tunnel surgery on both arms (probably 17-18 years ago now). Should I be worried about this lump?

Hello,
Lump which is appearing to be on vein can be due to vascular tumor. I suggest you to consult your surgeon for clinical assessment and investigations like doppler studies to rule out any abnormality in blood vessel.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
