Lump on my left forearm
Recently, I noticed a lump under the skin of my left forearm since the last one week or so. It is the size of a pea or maybe slightly smaller. It doesnt pain, itch and is not inflamed. It is slightly hard and even when I pinch it, I dont feel the pain. Is it a matter of concern

Thanks for the query.
Lumps in the skin are not uncommon in general population but if it's painful and increasing in size and number it requires medical attention. Consider meeting a Dermatologist or plastic surgeon for physical examination. If needed an FNAC or skin biopsy can be done to ascertain the nature of this lump. Skin biopsy will be both diagnostic and probably therapeutic if it's done for any painful lump. Don't delay the consultatio
