What Causes Soreness In Elbows?

I have a rash on both elbows...over the last 2 years or so I have been excersising with weights...plus they seem a bit sore when I wake up as I must lean on or they may rub against the sheets ..the redness has some yellow heads..but not like poison heads ..say on a scab they actually white not yellow...no puss etc just sore red underneath....they do not irritate..but the do get dry etc...
