Hi,Welcome to HCM.
Based on the facts of your query,the bruise on the forearm with white bump in the middle,seems to be due to Boil with cellulitis with pointing white head/ or it could be a insect bite with bruise/cellulitis with poining head.
As you don't remember any bite or trauma and worried,Second Opinion from Dermatologist /or GP,would help you to rule out any other causes of such a bruise with a lump.
I doesn't see Any relation of this bruise with bump to Cymbalta.
You should not worry as it is not Cancerous and is treatable bruise with bump.
This reply would resolve your current issues and would reduce your anxiety with it.
Hope this reply would help you to plan treatment with your doctor.
