Sudden bulging of left temple vein that doesn't go away - Is it treatable? (Photo)

March 22, 2016
Asked By:bay10 in England, United Kingdom

About 8 weeks ago I noticed that my left temple vein was bulging out (picture attached). It has not gone down since. I have been to my doctor and bad blood tests to rule out TA. Another doctor I have seen said it is treatable through taking parecetomol and drinking plenty of fluids. I have been doing this for two weeks now and no improvement. Does anyone have any idea of what may be causing this and any potential treatments? spoken to a couple of vascular surgeons who are reluctant to treat.
