A member asked:

Got a random sore spot on my forearm for 2 weeks. its way less sore now.not red or swollen,no trauma happened there. any ideas what causes it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No ideas: It is impossible to give an answer without being able to examine the forearm first hand. If you are concerned, see a doctor in your area.
