What Causes Vein Bulging Out In Forearm?

I have a large vein on my right forearm that is bulging slightly, four inches from my wrist, and the spot is numb to the touch. When i stretch and straighten out the arm, a burning pain is felt on that spot, but otherwise i have full movement of the arm and wrist.

Since when do you have the problem? Is there a white or lighter skin patch in thay area? If yes then you should see a skin Specialist or Dermatilogist. If not then you should take compression therapy with a crepe bandage or upper limb stocking. It does not sound anything ominous. Try the compression for two weeks and let me know the improvement. Take care.
