Bump on arm

by euchreplayer84, Nov 07, 2009 04:09PM
I have a weird bump on my forearm that appeared about 8 months go.  It started as a small bump that I thought was a pimple.  I waited and waited and it grew a little bigger, but obviously was not a pimple.  It is still small and doesn't look like it is growing any more.  I guess it kind of looks like a small wart and has the same characteristics.  Can a wart grow on a forearm?

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be  seborrheic keratosis or a wart. Seborrheic keratosis is a benign tumor of the skin and is not malignant. Warts are caused by HPV infection. A biopsy of the skin can be done to confirm the diagnosis. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist and get it done. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
