Suggest Treatment For A Painful Lump On The Elbow
I just noticed that I have a painful lump located on the inner area of my elbow. There is no bruising, swelling or redness noted in the area. There was no trauma at the location and it s painful to touch as well as when I rest my arm on any surface. I d like to know what could have caused this lump to appear practically overnight?

HI,Thanks for the query to HCM.
Treatment for painful lump on elbow-
In my opinion -bug bite or unnoticed wound on the arm would cause this overnight.
Treatment -
consult a surgeon when it grows and he would treat it accordingly with antibiotics / anti-inflammatory.
Hope this would help you to plan treatment with mammography and ER doctor.
Welcome for any further query to HCM.
Hit thanks.
Good Day.
