In addition to visually protruding veins, symptoms of other vascular conditions that may cause swollen arm veins to include: Red, inflamed skin around the vein Arm pain or tenderness Arm swelling, which may happen suddenly These symptoms may indicate a blood clot in a vein. If the blood clot is right under the skin, it’s called superficial thrombophlebitis. A clot in deep veins, far below the surface of the skin, is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
