Is this dent on my arm caused by lipedema, swelling or normal fat disposition? (Photo)

Resourceful324478
female, 5ft3in 165lbs I have a strange dent on my arm that goes in and gets puffy towards my upper arm. The fat pad is firm and feels tender to touch (feels bruised if poked) there are also little grains under that feel like rice. I do not have the lipedema fat disposition on my body, although I do have the same painful fat with small beads under skin, on my inner thighs.
