Is this a cause for concern? Photo attached
HI all,
I have had this issue with slightly inflamed veins on both sides of my forehead on-off for 3 or so years now. I do smoke, which could be a factor (hence intermittent, and the solution would be simple: minimize smoking), it occasionally causes pain. From what I have briefly read about TA it tends to impact people over 50, I am 25. Do you think this is a situation of "look after yourself more and this will go away" or is it indicative or something else, last doc I spoke to said there was basically zero risk it could be anything serious/is benign, so if you's want to add to that I'd be pleased. thx.

You mentioned "last doc I spoke to" - how many have you spoken to about this? Have they all agreed that it's benign?
Have any of them been a neurologist? If you're not scowling, do you see the vein?

the doctor in quesiton did notice the vein (male doc) but said it's probably nought to worry about?
the vein is there but only lightly visible even when not scowling.
Well, you could always get a second opinion. but most of the time, forehead veins aren't cause for concern.

Definitely get another opinion if you haven't already, if it will make you feel better about it.
