General Surgeon,  's  Response
I studied your query in all the details put forth by you.
I understood your health concerns.
Cause of the health problems you queried-
The lump on the arm is -Post-Injection Lump ? Injection Abscess mostly.
As you have all the history for it.
Remedy-
Cold Compresses would help you more.So stop the hot compresses.This would help still if full blown abscess is not developed yet.
If you have fever with it,consult your ER doctor and
Take Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory under his cover.
If it still grows worst, I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon, who would treat it by Surgical Drainage,if need be,after needful investigations.
As I don't have any direct photo of the lump / or not many details from you, I would advise you to consult surgeon.

Hope this would resolve your query with full satisfaction.
