Lumps on left arm near triceps area

Question

Asked for Male, 26 Years

Hi, I am 26 year old male . for last 2 years I have a small lump sized around 1cm near my triceps area. It is movable, does not pain unless pressed really hard , and visible only when I put pressure on that area. It has grown slightly larger compared to its initial size over last 2 years and now it'll be around 1 cm or so. Recently I noticed another pea sized lump on the same arm just opposite to the previous lump. this one is new and small and not at all visible unless touched . all other characteristics are same as the previous one. Any help is much appreciated

Mostly should be a fat swelling. Nothing to worry. At the same time better not to ignore it. Too much handling of the swelling not advisable. Better to consult a nearby general surgeon.
