What Is The Lump On My Right Bicep?
on the vein running down my right bicep i have noticed a lump about halfway towards my elbow and looks almost as if the blood is finding it hard to push through and is just building up there to the size of a pellet for a toy gun, dont know if it is a blood build up but thats just how i would describe how it looks.

Hi, what you are noticing is a valve in the vein. Our limb veins have valves at intermittent distances to not let blood go back away from the heart. These areas if seen look bigger than the rest of the vein, ovoid in shape like pellets and it seems that blood is swirling within it. This is absolutely normal and there is nothing wrong if this is what you are seeing.
