What Could A Lump On The Arm Be?
Hi, after swimming last night, I noticed a lump on my right arm [outside of the elbow, just below it] The lump felt soft to touch and later just disappeared. Today I have pins and needles down my right arm and in my hand. I do swim a lot and have neck/back problems anyway. Just wondered about the lump?

hi.
based from your description, it might just be an inflammatory reaction that has subsided spontaneously. it could possibly be secondary to trauma, insect bite or strain. observation will do for now. if the signs and symptoms recur, a consult with your doctor is best for clinical evaluation.
hope this helps.
good day!!
