What Does A Movable Lump On The Arm Indicate?
My husband is 35 and has a moving lump under his skin. It is the size of a small marble and is hard. On the inside of the arm. What could this be or what causes this. He believes it is from when he was given an IV. However, it is 5in from the elbow.

Hi,
Armpit lumps may be caused by cysts, infection, or irritation due to shaving or antiperspirant use. However, these lumps may also indicate a serious underlying health condition. Seek medical attention if you have an armpit lump that gradually becomes enlarged, is or isn't painful, or doesn't go away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
