Why Are The Veins In My Upper Arm So Prominent?

My teacher resently pointed out that i have thick blue veins in my upper right arm. She said it could be a spider vein but doesnt look like it. Im not in very good shape either. So what could it be??

I'm 17, weigh about 200 lbs. On depo shot*(if that could have something to do with it)

Certainly, some of the hormones like depo-shots ( depo-medrol ) may bring change in vascular system, but selective action on a localised vein is rare. Hoping that it will subside after depo-medrol therapy.
