Hard lump on the inner bicep
I recently thought I was bitten by an insect while on a trip. Immediately the site was red and inflamed. over the course of a few days, the swelling seemed to go down but the "site" hardened to knot about an inch or so in diameter that i can move around with a slight amount of pressure. the welt is sensitive when i apply any amount of pressure.
