Question : I have three small lumps on my outer lower forearm. Do you know the cause?
Brief Answer:
usg and fnac will answer you
Detailed Answer:
It is very difficult to tell you what the lumps may be.
Ideally you need to be examined.
Without examination, any comment would just be speculation.
This could be something as simple as a lymphnode due to infection, to some benign condition like lipoma to some serious swelling.
I would suggest you get a usg of the involved region. This will tell you what the swellings are. If needed,an FNAC, and later, if needed a biopsy may be performed.
These investigations would be standard procedure also after examination.
I hope that helps.
