The photo that I attached just happens to be a good day. There are days it is so far out and looks so ugly I have to come my hair to the other side to cover it.

Answer: Temporal vein treatment. The reason the vein is pulsating most likely is because it is overlying the temporal artery. The first step is to distinguish the temporal artery from the temporal vein. I just last week had a patient with the same problem. We actually did an ultrasound to ensure that the pulsation was due to the underlying temporal artery. The best treatment for this vein would be removal by 2 micro incision. Removing the vein, however, will not eradicate the pulsations.
