Cyst or lump under forearm skin
I noticed a cyst or a lump under my forearm skin 2 months ago. It is not visible but I feel it by touching it. It is just under my skin and is of a size of small grain. I can collect it in my pinch and I believe it is not on my muscle. Should I be worried

Usually no. But better to get an ultrasound done of the area, just to be more certain.

It’s very difficult to comment on the nature of the cyst by the description . It is better. You consult a physician in person so that he can examine the same and opine.
