Cephalic Vein Injury, Bruise, Bulge. Cure?
I was moving a piece of furniture and hit my cephalic Vein. I did not think anything about it until I looked down a week later and could see a bruise there and could see that my cephalic vein is bulging out now in the crease of my arm. It does not hurt but I am upset that it bulges. Is there anyway it will heal or do you think once it is damaged it will stay this way forever?

Hello,
Thanks for writing,in our body, healing happens without any external aid in most of the sutiation.
In your case,as it started bruising, and there is no pain,it's been started healing and it won't shows any signs of infection either (redness,pain).
It will heal spontaneously ,if the condition is worsening kindly consult with your nearby physician.
