Suggest Permanent Cure For Pea Sized Lump On Arm
I am 29 year woman and i have a pea size lump on my upper right arm inside the skin which is not subsiding from past 6 months and the size remains the same. I dont have any pain and i can slightly push the lump and feel the movement. This is the third time i am getting this kind of lump in the same location as it would not stay more than 3 months or so. Kindly let me know what it is and kindly prescribe a permanent remedy for this.

hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). it could also be a lipoma (fatty deposit) or a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical excision) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
