What Is The Lump In The Crook Of My Daughter S Elbow?
My daugher has a lump in the crook of her left elbow. It is soft and tender. Her entire forearm is red and warm to the touch. Her thumb on the same side is numb and tender to the touch. No bites, scratches, etc. that might have caused it. Wondering what, if anything, we should do, or just watch it?

Hi dear thanks for the query on HCM
You need to take her to the ER at the earliest.
The history you have described is suggestive if cellulitis which requires urgent medical attention.
Do not delay.
They will do an clinical examination, followed by ultrasound or venous Doppler, blood test and decide the treatment.
Thank you
Take care
