A member asked:

What can cause a bump on the arm to keep coming back(same area)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A cyst: If you're describing a recurrent abscess - meaning a big pimple keeps coming back - it's possible you have a cyst there that keeps getting infected and the cyst needs to get excised (cut out).
