General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of a lump on the lower part of left arm close to the crease, and couple of smaller ones.
there is also burning sensation when you put a little pressure on the lump, stinging type of pain comes on.
This is indicative of an infected cyst compressing or pressing on the nerve supplying the lower or distal part.
I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Get a course of an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medication.
This should solve your problem.
Also consult a General Surgeon so that further clinical consultation can be done to decided whether medical management will help or may need a surgery to get the complete recovery.
I find this answer helpful
