What Causes Painful Hard Lumps In The Forearms?

Hi, I have just noticed that I have two pea sized painful hard lumps in my forearms. They are not visible, red or itchy, though are quite painful to touch. I am a fitness professional who is quite fit and healthy, though suffer from hemochromitosis so just wanted yo find out a little more.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Lumps on forearm can be soft tissue tumor like nodular fasciitis or dermatofibroma or neurofibroma. You should go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Treatment of most of the soft tissue tumor is surgical excision. 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 health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
