What Does A Hard Lump On The Forearm Indicate?
I just noticed a hard lump under the skin on inner forearm surrounded by a bruise--it is not a bite but size of large mosquito bite--no itching, pain or swelling though. Only thing I can think of is strain from light weight lifting earlier--something I do regularly though
