Small hard lump underneath the skin om my forearm

I had what I thought was a wart growing on my arm. I tried to freeze it off bu it seems to keep growing. Underneath the skin I can feel a hard ball about the size of a b-b. Should I have it removed? Could it be cancerous? I'm a male, 46 years old. I've seen examples of skin cancer and they do not resemble the growth on my arm.

I have the same thing on my right forearm, and I can't figure out what it is either. Mine has been there for a few months with relatively no change in size. Anybody know what this may be? Confused

I have the same thing! It's a smallish lump ontop of my arm, though under the skin, and right where my arm bends. When my arm it out straight, you can see it clearly, but when I bend my arm, it's like it disappears. It is hard, but does not itch nor is it painful. Just confusing!

im in the same boat. Mine is right in between my elbow and wrist, a bit closer to the wrist. There is no irritation or anything above the skin, but underneath I can feel a noticeable lump.

My daughter is six years old and has a lump on her forearm. I started about two months ago. I thought it was just a bite. Now it's grown and looks like a bruise when her arm is bent but when she straightens her arm you can clearly see the lump. It's grown now and it's about 1.5 inches and Dr is going to remove it , but he really doesn't have an explanation for it or even what it is. It does not hurt or itch her at all. I'm still very confused?

About a month ago I too noticed a pea sized knot/lump under the skin on my forearm. It's halfway between my elbow and wrist. It doesn't hurt, doesn't seem to be growing but it isn't going away either. If anyone gets additional information on what this thing is I'm sure we'd ALL appreciate it! I must add that at 14 yrs of age I had what the Dr called a 'fatty tumor' removed from my knee. That had been in/on my knee for as long as I could remember and would ocassionally swell and when touched would shoot off to another location around the knee eventually returning to it's original position. Maybe these are nothing more than a benign, fatty deposit.

I asked my family dr one day and he said it was fat deposits! At that time I only had 2. I have a total of about 8 now and I am thinking I may go for a 2nd opinion.
If anyone finds anything out please pass the info on!
Thanks

Same symptoms here:
I just saw a GP who suggested it was a Ganglion_Cyst & refered me to a hand doctor. I will return with updates from the specialist.

I just found one too on my arm between my elbow and wrist. It seems to be sitting on the ridge of my bone on the top half of my forearm. I can push it back and forth but that's all. It doesn't move around from wrist to elbow. It doesn't hurt, but it's a weird sensation. Why can't someone answer what the heck this is.
