What Are The Causes & Treatment For Recurring Lumps In Elbow?

Hi there, for the past 5 years I've had reoccurring lumps at the back of both of my elbows. They don't hurt, sometimes they are itchy. I've asked my doctor and all he can say is for my not to eat foods such as seafood alot.. He gives me this cream to put on it. The past years the cream worked but it keeps coming back. Now it is more worse then ever and bigger than ever - the cream is no longer effective. Please, please help me I am desperate for a long term solution! Here are some photos I just took: WWW.WWWW.WW WWW.WWWW.WW

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though there is no photograph seen with your question, it seems that you have got a chronic dermatological problem which might not be diagnosed properly without an appropriate physical examination and related investigations. Therefore, I would advise you to see a dermatologist in your area for an appropriate diagnosis for proper managemnt. Till that, please take care not to scratch those and avoid any pressure over the lesion.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
