wow i have the same exact thing as you ali107
Well i got a round bump on my left arm and its been there for a couple a months and its has a pain to it and is bruised and i dont know what it is...?
Hello,
It can be a boil,swollen lymph node or lipoma pressing on the underlying nerves.
Lipoma skin is a benign tumor.Usually it is painless and requires no specific treatment as it is self limiting. Boils are caused by infection of the hair follicle by staph aureus. Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection.
Pls keep the area clean and apply some warm compresses. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.
I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or in case you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
