Answer
Hi Keisha,
Are you saying that your arms are muscular like a man's or toned?  Women die to get toned and muscular arms.  If they are bulging then it could be that your body makes more testosterone. Go to your physician (Dr.) and you can get a blood panel taken to see what levels your hormones are at.  If you have too much testosterone your Dr. can help you with that.
Good luck!
