Hello and welcome to HCM,
It is not advisable to cut open the bump on the arm yourself.
Cutting the bump yourself can lead to infection and injury to soft tissues.
Thus, consult a primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment.
Proper dressing of the wound is required followed by application of antibiotic ointment.
Thanks and take care
