Under the skin of my right arm, I can feel a little hard 'ball'. I don't know any other way to describe it except that it feels round (flat on the front/back), almost like a smarties candy. It doesn't hurt if I squeeze it from the surfaces but it hurts just a little when I squeeze it from the rims.

I first noticed it was there when I was around eleven years old, I thought it would just go away naturally if I waited(and it has never bothered me or felt any pain from it), but it's still there and now I'm nearing seventeen. I am starting to worry if it's going to be harmful to my health in the future. I haven't contacted the doctor about this because I was too lazy to in the past; however, I would like to know if this is something I should be worrying about at all here first.

Cheers.

Hey there~

Ok, You've had this approx 6 years now, right? My assumption is you're just a wittle bit worried or you wouldn't be asking..LOL! But not really LOL!

Make an appt with a derm or your MD, "more than likely" it's a cyst or a lipoma, but we aren't the professionals here. One thing to think about, go on to the dr, get it drained or removed so you won't have to worry about it in yourlater life. Ok? It's actually a simple procedure to removed small cysts or lipomas. Just a little bit of numbing juice (shot) and they take that little thing right out of there. Poof! No more worries!

Call and get you an appt, then come on back and let us know what they say! OK?

God Bless~
