What Causes A Bump On The Left Bicep?

Hello, I recently discovered a bump on the left bicep, right on the vein. It only shows when I am wearing a backpack or have any weight on the shoulder. No other symptoms other than a pea sized bump, and it goes away when I take off the backpack. There is no pain in the area at all, and no pain or numbness in my hands.

Hello,

It may be due to furuncle.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

In case of fever you may require antibiotics after consultation.

Continue dressing.

Avoid sweating.

Maintain proper hygiene
