What Causes A Small Pea Sized Lump On Elbow?
Question: I have a pea size ball in my elbow which is sore.
Brief Answer:
Please give more history and give photograph.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your information.
May I please ask a few more additional points for me to assist you more?
- Since when have you got this lump?
- Sore: is it painful or pains only on pressure?
- Is it freely movable or attached to the skin?
If the lump is present only for a few days and painful, this can be a boil.
If this is present for a long time:
- Sebaceous cyst.
- Or a lipoma
- Other rare tumors, these are diagnosed only on removal and histo-pathology examination done.
Please give the feedback.
You can certainly post a clear photograph and give detailed history.
