What Causes Red Bump On Elbow?
So, Ive had this red bump on my elbow for months, never though of it as anything. Today when I got up I noticed it was huge, and had white dots on it. So I poked it with a needle and squeezed it. These little white egg looking things came out, now leaving a small empty space in my skin (Very small hole). Im not sure if there eggs or what. But the bump is still there and im not sure why.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
By your history and description, in my opinion, you are having skin infection (boil) in that area.
And egg white fluid is mostly pus collection.
So better to consult surgeon and get done debridement of swelling and removal of all pus.
You need thorough surgical dressing.
You should also start antibiotic, painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs.
You need alternate day proper surgical dressing until complete healing occurs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
