What Does A Lump On The Forearm Indicate?
I just noticed a hard pea sized bump in my inner lower left arm. It seems to be in one of the main blood vessels that you can see when you look at the inside of your arm. It is tender but not red. First time I have ever noticed this before should I be worried?
