Is Lump On The Upper Arm A Cause For Concern?

I have a lump located in my upper left arm, it doesn t hurt and it isn t noticeable unless you run your fingers over it. It is solid and does not move though it feels that it can be about an inch long? I cant say for sure I don t have a ruler....any idea what it can be or if it is serious?

This is common site for lipoma.
Nothing to worry if size increases then consult surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
