Have A Lump In The Arm Between The Elbow And The Wrist. No Test Or Medication Till Now. What Should Be Done For This?
I have a baby pea sized lump on my right forearm between my elbow and my wrist on the pinkie side of the arm. The lump is sore when touched but not excruciating. The lump does not move. I just noticed it this morning. The skin around it is normal in color and temperature. What are the possibilities and how soon should I see a doctor?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
There are many possibilities. You need clinical examination.
As it is sore on touch,it may be infective in etiology.So,full course of antibiotics should be given first.
Other possibilities are lipoma,neurofibroma etc.
You should consult surgeon.
