Swollen and discoloured skin around vein on arm

Posted , 1 user is following.

I have suddenly developed swelling around one of my veins on my arm just before you reach the hand. It is bruised purple and red with a clear circle of skin in the middle. It itches a bit but is not causing any other problems than that atm.
