What could the pea sized lump on my arm be?

Asked by JessicaRabbit (383points) February 3rd, 2011

I have a pea sized hard lump in the crease of my arm (where someone would usually get blood work). I just noticed it now, and am wondering if someone has had the same thing? I am very concerned. I will be seeing a doctor tomorrow morning but am kind of in a panic.

It’s probably just a cyst. In any case, it’s not going to get any worse overnight.
Good luck!

Possibly a ganglion cyst. I have a small one in the webbinh between thumb and index finger of one hand and on the arch of one foot. I can push them around a little.

Its probably not one of those insects that burrow under your skin, and lay their eggs there to hatch, eating you alive.
Ya, probably not.
