What Is A Lump On The Upper Arm?
I have an 8 month old baby boy. He has a little pea shaped lump on his upper arm under the skin. It is moveable, and not extremely hard but not squishy either. It is about the size of a pea. You cannot see it at all, however you can feel it easily if you know where to look for it.

Dont worry about this at all.The lump you are explaining looks like a lipoma.Lipoma is just a small fat filled lump which is not harmful.If at any point you think it is growing and becoming bigger or it is painful then you can consult a general surgeon for removal.Till then nothing to worry about.Good day!!
