I have a small bump on my arm and noticed it maybe a week or two ago. At first it looked like a pimple but now it is worrying me. It is hard but on the surface. It is around the size of a bb and is raised it is red atm but only because i was messing with it. It is perfectly round and on my bicep. Thank you for your help, i am kind of a hypochondriac.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. There are many cause of bumps on the skin. It may be infectious, allergic or hyperplastic skin condition. But from the description received from you, I think it is kind of infection in origin. I suggest you to apply a combination cream of steroid, antibiotics and antifungal cream. It is combined approach to cure bacteria, fungus as well. Steroid in to contain can help heal bump faster. Please maintain good hygiene as it is equally important in treating fungal infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.
