Suggest Remedy For Small Bump On Elbow Joint

Hello, I have a pea sized bump which feels to be attached to my skin internally, just superior to my elbow joint. My skin is slightly red at this location. It aches usually in the morning and evening and putting ice on it relieves the pain. History: About 5 years ago I believe I had an ulnar nerve entrapment caused by that joint. Had numbness in 5th and half of 4th finger/hand. No treatment...Took a year to be normal.
