What Is The Remedy For Hard Lump On Arm?
Was playing with my neighbors puppy and all of a sudden I realized I had a hard lump on my arm. It seems to be an underneath the skin issue, maybe a blood vessel broke? The puppy has been jumping all over me, but the skin didn t seem punctured or anything. I have ice on it now since the swelling kind of hurts, I m hoping this will just heal itself?

Hi
As per your description, it could be haematoma, collection of blood .
It occurs due to trauma.
It will resolve spontaneously.
You can go for an Ultrasound and know the nature of the swelling.
If it is a solid swelling, FNAC ( Fine Needle aspiration Cytology ) has to be done.
Nothing to worry.
Wish you good health.
