Lump under the skin of arm
Is having a lump around 1.5 cm under the skin of the forearm (2 inches from the wrist) normal. Have noticed it since last 8 months. hasn't grown in size since. No pain. If it is pressed, it goes down under the deep skin and hard to find through fingers, again after sometime or while resting comes to original position and then easy to find by fingers. Can be moved around but,more easy to push it down. Shown to my regular GP. He said to ignore it. But I am worried about the same now.

Hii I understand your concern but on the basis of history it is a complete benign lesion and you shouldn’t be worried. But still it needs further examination and investigations to confirm the diagnosis. Kindly book and appointment and follow the steps of diagnosis
