Lump On Elbow, Itchy, Hurting, Liquid Comes Out On Squeezing. What I Need To Do?
Hi. I have this strange hard lump right on the tip of my elbow . I just noticed it today because it began itching. Once it didnt itch anymore, it felt sore. I thought I had just scratched it too hard. But then I noticed how bad it hurt to lean on my elbows. It was almost as if someone was sticking a needle in it. I finally realized there was a hard lump there. And if I squeeze it, a clear liquidy substace will come out. Could you please tell me what this is and what I need to do about it?

I have studied your case.
there can be abcess near elbow joint
see for inflammatory sign like redness,raised local temperature
you need to drain it surgically
other possiblty of olecranon bursitis
Take care
