What Causes Bubbling Feeling In Arm?

Lately I have been feeling a bubbling feeling on my right arm, near the shoulder. I do not perform any extreme type of physical activity. I m a camp counselor; I watch, take care of and play (chess, Jenga, etc) with the students I m the fourth grade. When I lift my shirt, I see that section of the arm bubble , like a twitch reaction. Why is this happening?
