Small Lump Above Wrist On Right Forearm, Bruise, Lump Formation. Causes For Lump?

Hello Dr I have a small lump 3 above my wrist on my right forearm there has been a bruise there for a while now the lump has appeared , when I push on it it moves an inch or two then I can draw it back using my fingers to its original position. I use crutches and thought it might be them that caused the brusing but now a pea size lump has appeared.

Hi nigel ! It could be lymph node. If it is not giving any pain it's ok . But if you are too serious to know. Do biopsy of the node and you will know what it is. So Consult the doctor. Take care. Bye.
