What Does A Lump On The Inner Arm Indicate?
My son has a lump on the inner part of the upper arm near the elbow. When he found it there was swelling and pain in the tricep n bicep area of the are and he could not fully extend his arm. Now the pain n the swelling are gone but the lump remains. The lump is not soft but it isn t extremely hard and it is about the circumference of a nickle.

Hi,
A lump on upper arm can be due to dermato fibroma, neuro fibroma, epidermoid cyst, kerato acanthoma, folliculitis, keloid etc. Consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and treatment accordingly. Doctor may ask you for biopsy of the lump.
Take care of him, bye.
