What Is The Growing Lump In The Arm?

I have a lump in the bend of my left arm that has been there for about 3 years and it keeps getting bigger but the ultrasound said it was nothing but it keeps growing and it makes my arm hurt sometimes or makes my arm tired if I try and use it too much

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi am Dr Fahim and I will help you with your problem
     I have gone through your question and understood your concerns. It appears to be Lipoma, which is a benign tumor composed of fat. Its treatment is surgical excision under local anesthesia, if its size is big or its bothering the patient.
     If such a patient walk into my clinic, I do excision of the lipoma under local anesthesia and prescribe tab Augmentin 625mg 1+1+1 and Paracetamol 500mg 2+2+2 to prevent postoperative infections. Patients are usually better in matter of days. You need to see a general surgeon for treatment of your condition. Wishing you rapid recovery.

I hope my answer will help you. Do rate it, if you like it.
Regards
