They bulge more when I am hot and when I exercise or get stressed. They have a pulse when I touch them. Sometimes they are not noticeable, other times they are. I’m skinny and my blood pressure is normal. I’m very young and in my teens.

Answer: Pulsating vessels Arteries are high pressure vessels that pulsate. Veins are much lower pressure and do not pulsate. These are either the temporal artery and/or branches or perhaps an enlarged vein and the pulse you feel may be the underlying artery that may not be visible in the same area as the enlarged vein. If the appearance or something else concerns you, see a vein specialist or vascular surgeon for treatment options.

Answer: Temporal vessels. The pictures look like the temporal arteries. However, the temporal veins can look very similar. Arteries pulsate and veins do not. See a vascular surgeon or vein specialist and they will be able to distinguish the two.
