Suggest Treatment For The Painful Bump In Forearm
My husband who is 61 suffered a welding burn to the inside of his forearm by his wrist 30 years ago. It made a dougnut shape lesion about the size of a nickle. Lately there is a bump forming underneath which he says is a little painful if pushed. Today he had a sonogram on it. They said they really couldn t see what was there but he should get it removed. Tomorrow he goes to a surgeon. What do you think this might be?

Hello,
A painful lump in the area of past injury can be a fibroma or a simple soft tissue swelling like lipoma. It is best to get the lump removed and get a biopsy done to find the nature of the lump.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
