What Causes Lump And Bruise On Elbow?
I was bathing my 5 year old daughter when she said she thought she was getting a hive on her elbow, I looked at it and it is a slightly bruised lump which hurt when I felt it, otherwise it does not hurt her. I asked her if she hit her elbow by accident and she said she thinks she remembers hitting it but is not positive. The lump and bruise are located by the lateral epicondyle. Should I be concerned

Hello and welcome.
Children often burise themselves and do not realize how and when they did so. I would not worry too much about it. If at all you observe multiple and recurrent bruises on her body, that is when you will have to report this to a doctor. For now, this is normal with kids.
Best wishes.
