What Causes Lump Under Arm And Above Elbow?
I have large lumps that are growing under my left arm. The first one I found half way between my wrist and my elbow. That was the night before last. This morning I had 3 more from my wrist to my elbow. One is smaller, another one is larger. Today I have developed a 5th lump just barely above my elbow that is larger than the others. These are movable and tender. I have not hurt myself

Hello,
Lumps may be caused by cysts, infection, or irritation due to shaving or antiperspirant use. However, these lumps may also indicate a serious underlying health condition. If the lumps gradually becomes enlarged, if they are painful painful, or doesn't go away you should go at the dermatologist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
