What Causes Indentation On Upper Arm?

I just noticed last night when I was rubbing my upper arm like 2 inches below my shoulder is an indentation, only on my right arm. It doesn t hurt or colored at all but I never had it before and my other arm is normal. I m nervous because I don t know what it is.

HI
Well come to HCM
Such swelling if not painful and does not cause anything then this could be lipoma chances of this is very likely, now you need to keep eye on it for any changes in later days, if you find something like this then you need to get done the clinical examination, if his is nonspecific and not lipoma the this would go away soon, no need to worry about this, take care.
