How Can An Arm Lump With A Discharge Be Treated?
I just squeezed a small lump in my arm and a lot of brown like paste came out like a worm. To begin with though, on top of the lump looked like a splinter which I pulled out with tweezers and what I pulled out looked like a light brown soft but big looking splinter. What is it?

Hi,Welcome.Based on the facts of your query,You seem to suffer from-Sebaceous Cyst with excision of the hair follicle which was pulled out with bloody hairfollicle and the white paste like worm after it? or it could be chronic abscess also.
Treatment for both is same-
Antibiotic cover to begin with followed by excision biopsy of the lumps.
