A member asked:
I have a dime sized lump on my forearm that is tender at times but sometimes painless and it's barely noticeable at times is this a cyst?

Probably: The lump is probably a cyst or lipoma. Neither are of concern unless they remain painful or there is growth. If either, you should see a surgeon about removal which can most likely be done under local anesthesia.
