What Causes Painful Nodule Under Skin Of Arm?
I have a painful pea size nodule under the skin on the backside of my right upper arm about half way between my shoulder and elbow. It has been there going on about 3 months. It has been very painful today and I have found a smaller one closer to the shoulder and one closer to the elbow. Do you have any ideas?

Hi
As per the description, they look like Sebaceous cysts.
If they become infected, pain will arise.
First,antibiotic and anti inflammatory tablets have to be used.Then,the swellings have to be excised.
Please consult your Surgeon and proceed.
Wish you good health.
