Suggest Treatment For Bruise On Arm With Hard Bump In The Middle
I have a bruise on my arm the size of an orange with a hard bump in the middle. It s been there for about two weeks, but I have never had any pain or felt anything. Trying to figure out what type of bite it is, but can t find any other pictures that look like it. Any ideas?

Hi.
As per your case history you may be having a sebaceous cyst or lipoma
My treatment advice is -
1. Both are benign lesions. So no need to worry.
2. Only remedy for it is excision. It's not an emergency problem and can be done on your free time.
3. If lesion suddenly increases in size or becomes painful then oral antibiotics and NSAID may be required. A local lesional biopsy maybe required to rule out other tumor in that case.
Thanks.
