Should I Be Concerned About A Lump Under The Skin That Hurts Like A Bruise?
Hi, I have a small bump under my skin, it is on my forearm, and hurts like bruise. I can see it under my skin, and it doesn t move around when I mess with it, nor is it discolored in anyway. It is also right on a vein, I can tell if its in the vein, or right above it. Is it something that I should worry about?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is not hurting much then just leave it like that only this could be a 'Lipoma' just keep an eye for size and the color if this increased in size and changed the color then this has to be brought to investigation if this is paining then you can try "Tab Acetaminophen with Ibuprofen three times in day" hope this information helps you have good day.
