Can A Movable Lump On The Forearm Be A Sign Of Cancer?
I have about a pea sized lump on my forearm that moves with the skin, changing colors, and is causing pain everytime i lift anything with my left arm(where said lump is). Theres a history of cancer in both side of the family but nothing like this, although id still rather be safe than sorry.

Hello,
That can be an infected cystic lesion(sebaceous cyst), or sometimes a parasitic cyst. FNA of the lesion will diagnose it correctly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
