What Causes A Tingling Sensation Of Worm Inside The Skin Of Forehead?

My husband said he has felt something odd - sort of like a worm under his skin off and on for a few weeks - on the side of his head moving up to his forehead. Today after he was in the whirlpool there is now a large vein on his head where he felt this tingling sensation. Is this a vericose vein? Should we be worried? Will this go away?

the answers are maybe, maybe, and depends. a superficial vein in itself is not worrisome at all, it's only if the vein represents another hidden disease does it become a medical problem. as with all problems in life there are many possible causes and just as many serious ones as not so serious. only a doctors visit will be able to sort that out
