What does a sclerosed vein feel like?

  1. Soft and malleable

  2. Wet and slippery

  3. Hard, cord-like

  4. Invisible to the touch

The correct answer is: Hard, cord-like

A sclerosed vein differs from a normal vein as it becomes hardened and thickened, appearing like a hard, cord-like mass under the skin. This is due to the buildup of scar tissue and the narrowing of the vein, which can cause discomfort or pain. Options A and B are incorrect because a sclerosed vein does not maintain its softness or slipperiness. Option D is incorrect because although the vein may be difficult to see, it can still be felt as a hard mass.
