Seems to be a pressure effect. Please consult a Gynaecologist or a General Surgeon in your area for a physical examination and further management

Please take a deep breath and try to relax. I know discovering something new on your body can make you very anxious but looking at the photos you shared I have some very reassuring news for you. What is this dimpling? The dimpling you are seeing on your arms is completely normal and harmless. It is a very common cosmetic feature called cellulite. It is absolutely nothing to worry about and definitely not a sign of any dangerous disease or breast issue. Why does it happen when you raise your arms? Underlying Structure: Underneath our skin we have tiny tough bands that connect the skin to the muscle below. Fat Distribution: Since you mentioned you are overweight there is some extra fat stored just beneath the skin in your arms. The Pulling Effect: When you raise your arm it stretches the skin tightly. The soft fat pushes outward while those little connecting bands pull the skin inward. This creates that uneven dimpled texture you are seeing. Both Arms: The fact that it is happening on both arms equally perfectly confirms that this is simply how your body naturally stores its fat. Do you need treatment? You do not need any medical treatment pills or creams for this because your arms are perfectly healthy. If you want to reduce how the dimpling looks for your own confidence focusing on a healthy routine to gradually reduce your overall body weight will naturally shrink those fat cells. Doing exercises to build the muscle underneath will also help tone and smooth out the skin over time.
