    Ok, so for about a year now i have been getting a bump on my left arm that comes and goes. It looks like a huge mosquito bite and it is itchy, but it comes and goes randomly in the same exact spot on my bicep. I can't see what it is, b/c i have a tattoo there and someone told me it could be a mole? But, before the tattoo, i never had anything there. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the tat bc i have had the tat for about 4 years now and the bump started appearing about a year ago.

    Here are some pics(sorry about the quality)-same exact spot, comes and goes, itchy- wth is it?

    Maybe you are allergic to something or perhaps it's a cyst.

    You have a rare form of a disease named Cheney-itis. It causes you to go in and out of focus depending on the time of day and your Circadian rhythm.

    That can't be a mole. I want to say that is a mosquito bite but you said the bump comes on and off for about a year. Have you checked with a doctor? I know it would be weird to go to a doctor because of a bump but that is strange.

    I can't really tell who is being serious? I've never been to a doctor, and i don't know how to make it come back up b/c there is nothing there, its normal and then out of no where, it comes back in the same exact spot.

    I have serious stomach problems occur most of my life...never been to a doc for it but everyone notices how im always in pain shortly after i eat. Someone once mentioned i might have worms and that their friend died b/c of it? Im one broke mo fo so i never go to the doc, i owe the hospital like 300 bucks from when my right arm got infected b/c of a tattoo. I had no choice b/c my whole arm was enormous from the swelling that i couldn't even bend it...

    My sister had some leftover debris in her gums following dental surgery. It turned out her previous dentist was careless and didn't clean the area properly, and this debris continually kept getting re-infected, causing a bump to form, go away, and re-form.

    It's a lipoma. If it is causing you any pain, go ahead and check it out with your physician.

    on a serious note... we have a lot of folks on the board that know different stuff about stuff (huh?), but no docs... or not that i'm aware of anyway (until azadre finishes up). go to a doc and have he/she recommend a dermatologist. you don't want to end up like the tree guy in india.

    edit: and as soon as i finish typing that, azadre posts. heheh

    Might be an alergic reaction to the ink from the tatoo.
