hello.to help you i need to see the the arm and examine it personally to come to a conclusion.According to my opinion he may have developed a peipheral vascular disease,probably there is a temporary clot in his vein leading to blood collection and bulging.But you said its since one day,it might also be possible that he had some hidden and unnoticed injury leading to those symptoms. presence of tingling sensations point mostly towards a vascular disease.But also note that whether he is not developing weakness in his arm.Consult a physician and get it examine directly to come to a definite conclusion.
