What Causes Lumps On Forearm?
Hi, I found a small, painful, pea sized lump in my forearm and within 2 hours of noticing it, it started to change colours. The bruise has been spreading and changing colour over the past 5 days, however where the lump is there is no bruising. So in the middle of the huge bruise is the unaffected lump. What could this be? It is very painful..

Hi, your history suggest more of an infected abscess
If i were your treating doctor, then i would suggest
1) To start on antibiotic i.e amoxicillin along with antacid
2) To get open abscess,and drain the pus
3) I would recommend to see your physician, and get drained the abscess in a strict aseptic condition, and to get prescribed medicines.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
