Suggest Treatment For Lump On Arm
I have a small hard lump, non-moveable on my left arm, I believe the ulna. No trauma in the area just a lot of painting when it was noticed. The first week it was slightly red and swollen, a little warm, that has subsided but the lump is still there. It is a little tender and the size hasn t changed after the heat and such left. Should I visit my provider?

Hi
Looking at your symptoms it seems to be case of boil or fruncle
take acetaminophen for pain
antiseptic cream to be applied locally
If it increases in size or redness take a course of antibiotics under supervision of your doctor
Hope this helps you
good luck
take care
