A few months back, I felt a small bump, under my skin near my forearm- close to the bend on my elbow. There was no pain at that time. I have since noticed the lump is getting bigger and is sometimes painful to the touch. Is this something I should be concerned about? I am without insurance, so its not easy for me to be seen. Thank you.
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or dermatofibroma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
