What Is The Treatment For Pea Sized Lumps In The Arm?
in the past two weeks I ve found three pea sized hard round lumps under the skin of my upper arm; they are not something that can be visually seen. I first noticed one about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks ago and now just noticed two more. Any idea what they could be? I m currently off work with shingles; can this be related?

hi.
based from your description, it could possibly be a cyst (sebaceous or keratinous type), a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or a lipoma (a fatty tissue deposit). it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
