Lump in upper arm
I am a 28-year-old female. I have had a lump in my upper arm for about 4 years. It moves when I move my hand and is not visible from the outside but can be felt under the skin. It is usually not painful, but it hurts a lot when I press it. I also feel the size has slightly increased over time. I am worried if this could be something dangerous. Please help me.
