What Does A Discolored Burise On A Lump On Left Arm Suggest?

Hello. About three years ago I had a small ball growing on my left arm near my shoulder. It kept growing and now its the size of a pea not sticking out too much but I just noticed today that around it my skin has a bruise coloration right next to this ball. I am assuming this ball is a cyst but I am unsure of why I have a bruise coloration from it?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this may not be cyst but it could be lymph node and the only option to differentiate this clinical examination and investigation, if you do not have any clinical symptoms then no need to worry about this but better to keep the condition under observation hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
