    Hmh, the body fights off things you don't know about all the time. It could simply be that. Still see your GP, to be safe.

    Is the lump more external or internal? I mean is it in a gland like position under the skin?
    You'd be suprised how bign lymph nodes can actually grow, I had one removed last year...

    I hope it's ok and not what mine was. Go to your doctors to make sure.

    Trying not to use scare tactics, plus she mentioned finding that on the internet herself...
    lol hardly think someone's gonna start panicking because some random on an internet forum says it could be cancerous, when no doubt the thought would have crossed the OPs mind anyway ...

    Sounds to me like it could be a knot in the muscle.

    I went to get it checked out and it turns out that it is probabaly just a random lump of fat, it is often genetic and my dad has them in his arms though you dont usually have just one, you usually have a few. but it should go away in a week and if it doesnt then i have to go back. but for now its all good, unless it gets bigger which sometimes they do or if it doesnt go away its sometimes just removed for safety. but its fine
