What Could The Lump Under Skin Be?

20 year old male - My arm has been aching since wednesday, thought I had knocked it on tuesday? This evening I have noticed a small lump under the skin which apears to be within my vein, I raised the vein slightly and it becomes more prominent. My hand has been slightly numb.

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read facts of your query and reviewed it in context to your health issues submitted.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.
You seem to be suffering from following possibilities-Rheumatic Tendinitis with hand swelling / or could be- Ganglion Cyst / or could be post-traumatic Thrombophlebitis / or Synovioma-or histiocytoma-a hamartoma from tendon sheaths/ or could be Rheumatoid Nodules.
The edema in the arm may explain the nerve entrapment hand numbness.
The fact the arm lifting made the skin lump more prominent, confirms the post-traumatic thrombophlebitis or Ganglion of tendons .
I would suggest
Other causes like -needs to be verified and ruled out.

For this to verify Second opinion from Orthopedist /Rheumatologist- doctor - would be needed.
