I am a 17 year old female and i have just recently have found a lump on my arm. It hurts but only slightly and it is very hard. I have no idea what it may be. I talked to my mom and she said we would keep an eye on it but i dont want to wait to long in case it is canerous or a tumor.. do you have any possible reasons or explaintions as to why i have a hard lump on my arm?

hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a keratinous type). these lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
