Is It A Matter Of Concern That There Are Recurring Lumps On Elbow Which Occassionally Oozes Pus?
Hello. For a while I have had a lump on my elbow that when squeezed a white substance comes out. It usually does not hurt, and once I am able to get all of its content out, it takes months before I have to squeeze it again. In the past month, though, two new lumps have appeared. These do not secrete any substance when squeezed, and they look dark in color when my elbow is bent. The are not painful, but have continued to grow. Should I be concerned about them?

Hi,
This may be a case of sebaceous cyst. You need to get it excised which is an OPD procedure and hardly takes 15 minutes...Consult a general surgeon...
Best wishes
