Does vascularity lead to bigger cuts?

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

I have been working out and seeing more veins on my forearm because of a lower body percentage. I know many fit people have this, although since the vein is closer to the skin, if it were cut because of a scrape or something, would the bleeding me any worse? Thanks!

HELLO, THE TORTUTOUS BLOOD VESSELS ARE VEINS THAT CONTAINS LOT OF IMPURITIES AND ANTICOAGULANT. SO IF THE SUPERFICIAL VEINS ARE PUNCTURED OR CUT APPLY PRESSURE ON BLEEDING POINT BLOOD STOPS WITHIN FEW SECONDS OR ONE OR TWO MINUTES, AS IT CONTAINS LOT OF ANTICOAGULANT SO BLOOD STOPS IMMEDIATELY. DON'T WORRY.

Next Steps

IF CUT IS LONG GO TO HOSPITAL FOR STICH OR BANDAGE AS ADVISED BY DOCTOR.
