What Does Blocked Dark Green Vein On Arm Indicate?
I am a 27 year old woman and a smoker. A prominent dark green vein has appeared on my right arm which appears blocked and is tender to touch. It seems to be two veins which meet in an oval shape. Where they meet lumpy to palpate. I do not recall banging my arm etc. Any ideas what this could be? Thank you.

This is possible superficial thrombophlebitis and it is not serious and usually recovers on its own so you should not be worried. YOu should apply cold compresses and take ibuprofenum for few days.
