Question 1

i have fine bumps on my left arm what are they?

Accepted Answer

Left arm bumps: More information is needed to make even an educated guess. Are they red? Do they itch? Have they spread from a small area to the entire arm? Is only the left arm involved? Skin lesions are best evaluated by being seen by a doc. Your fp/pcp can examine the bumps after getting a good history & provide you with possibilities & treatment.

Question 2

i noticed a bump on the outside of my upper left arm.  it's about the size of a quarter.  it's where fatty tissue is located on ones arm.?

Accepted Answer

Cyst or lipoma?: You didn't mention any pain so it's like likely to be an infectious process like cellulitis or abscess.  Cysts & glands can often swell up as the pore gets clogged then resolve on their own w/o getting infected or causing pain. Lipoma is a benign (non-cancerous) fatty growth just under the skin. It rarely changes size. Best to go see your family doc for an exam & diagnosis.

Question 3

i have small red dots on my left arm like eight. they don't itch and there not bumps.?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Rashes are very difficult to describe in words, so an exam by a primary care doctor and/or a dermatologist is helpful, when the rash is present. Sometimes rashes occur from bug bites, fungus/yeast, reactions with chemicals, irritants, plants, allergens, etc... If one cannot go to the doctor, then taking a series of photos to show the doctor later is helpful.

Question 4

should i be worried  about a tiny bump underneath my skin been there for awhile on my left arm?

Accepted Answer

Lump: Such a superficial lump sounds benign and may be a lipoma or simple inclusion cyst. However if it's increasing in size or causes discomfort, have your physician examine it and advise you.
