What Causes Squishy Lump On The Inner Arm?

hi, my husband has something similar to this: it s a lump on his inner arm above the fold (so above the elbow area). He was lifting weights on Friday and that evening he noticed a buldge. It didn t hurt, just sore when it touches it. That continued on for a few days and then he was messing with it(trying to figure out what it was) and it swelled up a bit. It s warm to touch. and not today it s like a lump but at first it was just a soft squishy feeling buldge.

too much of lifting weights without proper warm up may end up causing sudden muscle injuries with hematomas .these can be mild to severe types. please check if any difficulty in movement /or any kind of reddish/blackish discolouration /or numbing sensation is present. if its a mild one, measures of giving rest to that body part, ice cubes application and use of painkillers for few days will relieve of that problem otherwise better if any of the other symptoms are present, please show to a doctor
