What Is The Pale Yellow Coloured Lump On My Arm?
Hi, i noticed a lump on my arm a week also ago, as i ran my finger over it. (I havent banged it though) It felt like a bruise(tender)but wasnt showing colours of a bruise. Now a week and a half later, it is bruised with a pale yellow lump in the middle. Is this normal?

Hi,
The lump you are referring is a bruising, most probably due to any trauma you had without noticing. The pale yellow color in the middle is indicating that it is under healing process.
You can apply heparin cream to get it cleared. If more bruising will appear, other blood tests should be carried out to exclude blood disorders.
All the best!
