Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Finger
Hi, my son who is 21 now has been rolling his thumb on a hard surface of a desk to hear a cracking sound for fun for years until recently when this bad habit made it hurt. He stopped doing that, but now his vein swelled up between a thumb and index finger. Is it serious? He did make an appointment to see a doctor.

Hi,
Thanks for your question. This does not sound serious or related to the fact that your son rolls his thumb in this way. If you would like to send a photo of the vein I could comment further.
Best wishes
