How To Treat A Small Lump Like A Cyst Near Elbow?
My 11 year old son has a small lump near his elbow. Weve been to the GP two months ago. They said it looks like a cyst. But its got bigger now. He says it doesnt hurt. Just worried it something else.. its not attached to anything, you can move it.. hope that makes sense.

Hi....It could be a cyst or a fibrous mass or a lymph node. But as it is increasing in size, it needs medical attention. It is not painful, so it is not harmful or serious. So do not worry. Probably it need to be removed and the histological examination will reveal its true identity. I suggest you see you surgeon or pediatric surgeon for this.
