How To Treat A Itchy Lump On The Left Elbow?
About a few hours ago I noticed a medium size lump in the bend of my left elbow, it does not hurt but it does itch a bit. Also my left wrist is tingly, if that matters at all. I am 24 years old, 160 lbs, with no prior medical history. Is this something to get checked out right away for just wait to see what happens

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor of neural origin like neurofibroma or schwanoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
