What Causes A Lump On The Left Biceps Area?

i have a lump under my skin on the left bicep area, it started out like a pea, but has started growing where it is quiet prominent, going in next week for a consultation with a dermatologist, I have regular checkups because I had stage 4 melanoma, they watch me very closely.

Hi,I Reviewed your query.
The lump on your biceps being a pea sized with rapid growth in its prominent area,could be melanoma with a blood blistering in the vascular melanoma.
One has to rule out a perinueral spreading melanoma in biceps.Possibilities of other such tumours in the biceps needs to be ruled out.
As you are established stage 4 melanoma case,the above possibilities need to be ruled on priority and only after that other such biceps tumours needs to be ruled out. HPR biopsy would resolve the issue if mealnoma is not there,to rule out any other malignant tumours.
Hence I would advise you to consult ER Surgeon and ER Dermatologist, who would treat it after physical check up and would rule out other causes of such biceps tumor in your case..
Still I would advise you to have a check up from your doctor to get the worry ruled out by a direct physical check up.
Hope this would relive your query satisfactorily.
Write excellent review and hit thanks if this has helped to resolve your issue.
Welcome again further for any query in this regard.
Have a good day.
