Question 1

for years i've had a large lump on my forearm vein that balloons. if i raise my arm it goes down because the blood drains from it. when my arm hangs it fills with blood and gets really big if i'm exercising. it hurts if it's hit. is this an aneurysm?

Accepted Answer

No if it was an aneu: -rysm, it is a arterial condition, so if it was, U would feel it pulsate. This is most likely a connection 2 the deeper veins called a perforator, &amp; at the connection 2 the superficial veins, there is usually a bulge, &amp; is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Question 2

large lump appeared on my forearm. i didn't injure my arm & it isnt a bite. it is warm to the touch & feels uncomfortable when pressed on. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Exam: Go to your physician for an examination. Your question cannot be answered without visualization and examination.

Question 3

large egg sized lump on inner forearm.  just realized it was there when on the computer .  no bug bite, not really painful, what could it be - cause?

Accepted Answer

Lipoma or Cyst: A lipoma is a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin. Lipomas are found most often on the torso, neck, upper thighs, upper arms, and armpits, but they can occur almost anywhere in the body. Or an epidermoid cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with a cheese-like or oily material. Symptoms: the main symptom is usually a small, non-painful lump.

Question 4

lump on my forearm about two centimetres big was a soft lump is not soft anymore is quite painful when touching . what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See a skin specialis: I suggest that you see a doctor (a dermatologist if possible) for an examination. This may be an inflamed epidermoid cyst and if so the treatment is simple, but an examination is required to be sure.

Question 5

i keep landing hard on my forearm below elbow in volleyball. there's a large bruise and lump that i can't touch. still have full range of motion ?

Accepted Answer

Arm pain: Likely just a hematoma or collection of blood under the skin.  If ice and elevation and ibuprofen don't help resolve it, I would see an MD for an X-ray.  If you have any numbness or tingling or paler color to your hand, go to ER as you may be cutting off blood or nerve supply to your hand from the swelling in your forearm.

Question 6

what might a large lump on my arm be a symptom of?

Accepted Answer

Many things: A bump must be seen and examined in person to be able to give a better idea what it is or isn't. If it's worse, changes, or not improved in the next few weeks, go ahead to a doctur.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Perhaps abscess: Have it looked at as it may need incision and drainage or referral for biopsy, imaging, lab test, follo-up, etc.

Question 8

i have a large lump that burns on my arm?

Accepted Answer

Painful tumor : This could be one of the painful tumors.  See your dermatologist for treatment and evaluation.

Question 9
