Suggest treatment for a lump on the forearm
Patient: Yes, I have a lump below the skin on my right forearm. It is painful, swells up and not hard moveable. I had it checked by two different Doctors. I had surgery on it to get it removed, but the Doctor did a biopsy which came back negative. He said it was fat and if I lose weight it would go down. The second Doctor said it was fat also. I am still concerned that it is a cyst causing me pain. I want it removed, it is 1 inch in diameter, approximately 1/4 inch deep, guessing. Help don t know what to do. Don t have any images. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or some benign cyst like sebaceous cyst.  No need to worry.  If it is painful then you should go for excision biopsy.  It will cure your lump and give definite diagnosis.  Consult your doctor and go for excision. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
