Hello
as per your description of the lump it seems to be a Neurofibroma. Need not worry, it's a benign condition and it is mostly a cosmetic concern rather than pathological. The common sites being the fore arm wrist back etc. it causes pain only when pressed deep, otherwise it only causes mild tingling or mild pain. It may be single or multiple in number. Definitive treatment for this is only surgical excision of the lump. Need not worry for this too, as it is only a day care minor surgical procedure.
Thaank you.
