Brief Answer:
Lipoma can be the case.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Can you please attach a photo of it. It would be much easier to give precise answer.
Multiple lumps on arm are usually lipomas. This condition is a benign soft tissues lesion which do not turn into a cancer. Depending of the lump location it may give some pain from time to time. Lipoma should be rounded, movable and soft when touching it. It can get constantly larger.
The best you can do is to consult dermatologist or general surgeon. In case of doubts, ultrasound can be done. Lumps can be removed with small incision and local anesthesia.
This is the best I can tell not being able to see it.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
