Abscess?: I would urge you to see your family doctor and let him/her examine this painful, hard, upper arm mass. He/she may be able to treat it themselves or should know which specialist to refer you to get it resolved. Do not put this off any longer. Call the office first thing in the morning. Best wishes.
