How To Get Rid Of Lump Under The Skin Of My Left Arm?
I had a pea size lump under the skin of my left arm in the bicep area since October and now it's larger and not so much a circle and the center is very red and dark and the outer area is yellowish like an old bruise. The lump is hard and sore to the touch. I'm just trying to figure out what it is and if I need to go see a doctor as our medical coverage is the pits.
