Why do my veins in my hand at night when I rub lotion on get really large and pu!


Question: You are actually stimulating or irritating the vein. Nurses (like myself) use this practice to enlarge small hand veins for starting IV's. Try rubbing a little more gently. This action also increases heat in the area, which dilates veins as well.

weird, its been happening to me too, but i think it has something to do with blood pressure..

it could be an allergy, or something in the lotion. you should probably go to yor doc, and maybe get a blood test.
