Loose wrinkly skin on one arm, help!

I am about half a stone overweight and not too bad generally but trying to loose it. I have one arm with loose, crinkly skin at the top and really want to sort it out fast ready for my holiday. It is ok in some positions but not others, I cant wear vest tops and strappy dresses because of this so can anyone offer any advice please?

I am not sure what would help as I haven’t seen it and I am not a PT or a plastic surgeon but have you been working out with weights? The issue is this takes time to build muscle to fill out the skin so this isn’t a fast fix. I have bits that I don’t like but I fake tan/shimmer them up and fake it till I make it. My stomach is fine when I am standing up but sitting down looks all saggy and I don’t like it so I wear flattering cut things and the fake tan! You could take a pashmina type thing to wear over you if you feel self conscious then you can still wear strappy tops? Maybe you could start doing arm exercises to tone the arm up

Hemorrhoid cream should temporarily tighten you up.

@Menora no I haven't done any weights maybe I should try,it's so strange how it is just one arm!

@Iwant2live Really! that's interesting, I will try anything tbh

Thanks for the replies, if anyone can help I would appreciate it.
