What Causes Lumps In And Around The Crease Of Arm?

I have a habit of sleeping with my arm bent to support my head . for some time now I have felt lumps in and around the crease of my right arm. research on internet shows that it is the upper cubit node that is swollen. It pains quite a bit. is my sleeping and weight on the arm the cause of the swelling

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
Is there any history of injury. Might be hematoma as a result of some blunt trauma.
Hope this helps.
Take care

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
It may be due to some enlarged lymphnode or soft tissue tumour like lipoma. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Thanks for using health care magic.
