My heart stops when the phone rings after 9 at night, and God forbid it to ring in the middle of the night, the thoughts I have make me feel ill. I need to look at things differently, when I think of your sister, it makes my problems seem so minor. I guess I am taking it so hard because I have always been healthy.

This is what google says about a blown vein, "If you have a blown vein, it means that the vein has ruptured and is leaking blood. It happens when a nurse or other healthcare professional attempts to insert a needle into a vein and things don't go quite right. When the vein starts to leak, you'll notice your skin darkening around the insertion site".

I would not worry about seeing the dermatologist, but I have already had a squamous cell taken off and now I know I have some skin cancers then there are 2 places that worry me about melanoma, hopefully, they are squamous, I just don't know for sure.
