What Causes Sore Lump In Arm?

I have a sore lump (quarter size) on my lower, inside arm and I noticed it 4 days ago. It s getting no bigger but still sore. Should I wait a week after applying ice and taking anti-inflammatory to see if it goes away. It s mid way, between elbow and wrist on inside of arm. I may of hurt it but don t remember doing it.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some benign cyst like dermoid cyst. Or you may have some doft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma.
You should mot wait because it doesn't look like inflammatory lesion.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should 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.
