What Causes Painful Lump On Forearm?
I have a painful lump on my forearm. 3 days ago there was no lump but the skin was sensitive to the touch. Since then it has steadily grown into a 1cm diameter painful hard lump...I don t worry about these things but the fact it has grown independently has me a little concerned. Do you know what this could be?

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). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
