Hand Veins
Are hand veins a sign of something more serious?
For the majority of people, bulging veins on the hands are a cosmetic problem that develops due to age, exercise, genetics, warm weather, or a lower amount of body fat in the hands.
But for some people, prominent hand veins may be a sign of an underlying health condition.
Veins in the hand can also bulge due to a DVT in the arm or from varicose vein disease.
