Bump on arm

Hi im Joe and 16

I have noticed a painful bump on my left arm near to my elbow, when i press down on the bump it gives pain but I am unable to feel any lump, I also do not remember being bitten, hitting my arm. When i press on it, its painful. Its a small bump and it is the first time i've noticed it.

I'm probably freaking out over nothing and the bump will be gone tomorrow, just wanted any idea on why this random painful bump on my left arm is there.

Thanks

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm afraid we are unable to diagnose or tell anyone if anything is the matter on here.

    Lumps can have straightforward medical explanations, such as infection. But only a doctor can make a medical assessment so the best thing to do is to make an appointment with your GP if it does not improve over the next couple of weeks.

    I hope it improves soon.

    Kind regards,
