What Does A Pulsating Visible Vein Above The Upper Lip Indicate?
I have a visible vein or artery above my lip. It appears bluish and protrudes slightly. It has a pulse in it. Cosmetically, it bothers me and is hard to cover up and the pulse is annoying. Is there any treatment for it or do I just have to live with it. A dermatologist told me is has too much blood going through it to eliminate it. I understand it may be the superior labial artery. It pulses in my upper lip too.

Hi,
Yes, it may be a aneurysm or hemangioma which refills but probably a aneurysm. Please consult a cardiovascular surgeon and undergo dissection if necessary or leave it because it bleeds too much.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
