Why Do Lumps Appear On The Forearm?

I have a lump on the anterior lateral part of my right forearm about midway down. It isn't painful per se however, I have had a right wrist arthrosocpy on same side to repair torn ligaments and have a history of abnormally high WBC. Could it be cuse for concern?

Hi.
If the lump is there since you have undergone arthroscopy, it can be related to the vein swelling.
Better to consult the Surgeon to ascertain what is it.
Why do you have high WBC count. Have you visited the Hematologist?
