What Causes Protruding Veins In Under The Arms Post Surgery?

my boyfriend has just noticed 2 hard veins potruding from his side they are quite hard and feel somewhat like a cord under the skin. He has recently had surgery to remove a, for lack of a better word, boil underneath his arm and the hardened veins have appeared just underneath the wound left from surgery. the hardened part of the vein is about 15cm long.

HI,Dear,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts and data of your query,your boyfreind seems to suffer from-Thrombotic veins post axillary boil surgery.
If its painful for 15 cm,could be resolving Thrombophlebitis.
Second opinion from your doctor on this would help you to plan treats in future.
Hope this would help you.
