Is It To Be Concern About The Lump On The Upper Arm?
I have a small, smooth red lump on my right upper arm. It is about 1cm squared in size and slightly raised. It doesn't itch and doesn't irritate. I've had it for many years and it hasn't changed at all. Links to what it looks like are: WWW.WWWW.WW and WWW.WWWW.WW

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Following are the possible causes for your painless, stable upper arm lump.
1. Hemangioma
2. Lipoma
3. Dermoid (less likely)
4. Fibroid (less likely)
Since your swelling is not causing you any trouble like not painful, not enlarging in size, non itchy, not restricting the movements etc, no treatment is required for it.
So don't worry about this swelling.
