Difficult to say .. put picture of swelling .. can be a lipoma/ganglion... if no pain / radiation... can rule out few other swellings like neurofibroma...
history like any other swelling in the body / family history is also important
Next Steps
Post a picture of swelling with hand and forearm ... investigations can be done after that
