What is a painless growing lump on the forearm?
1 week ago
I have a soft lump on my forearm which I noticed some time back, but recently it seems like it is getting bigger day by day. It does not really hurt, but I keep worrying about what it could be. can this be a lipoma, and do I need to remove it even if there is no pain?

A soft, painless lump that grows slowly under the skin is often a lipoma, which is a benign (non-cancerous) fatty tissue growth. While lipomas are generally harmless and do not always require removal, a growing lump should be evaluated by a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other conditions. Removal is typically recommended if the lump continues to grow, causes discomfort, or affects appearance. Please consult a doctor for a proper examination and personalized advice.
