Suggest Remedy For Lump In Right Arm Causing Pain In Elbow

Posted on Wed, 20 Jan 2016

Question: I have an inch long and probally 1/2 inch tall ( kind of like a pill shape?) hard non moveable lump on my right arm upper outside in the bicep area. Now that I have been pressing on it it sends pain in my elbow. I have another lump on the front of my leg under the skin but it is soft. What could the lump on the arm be? Its not visable you can only feel it when you rub your finger over it.

Probably a muscle or soft tissue!

Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this lump that you have reported. I have reviewed the information fully and this could be a muscle o deposited fat tissue. However, the size is so small that it most likely doesn’t represent any major health concern. For now monitor only and refrain from constant picking on it as this could be responsible for the pains you have reported.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services. Also, i wish you a very happy and prosperous new year 2016!
