What Do Hard Lumps Under The Skin Above The Elbow Suggest?
About two days ago I noticed a lump the size of a small marble under my skin just above my left elbow on the inner side of my arm. It is slightly hard. I became worried it was something serious... So I began researching it on the Internet which pretty much just made me worry more. It seems to have gotten slightly more swollen in the past two days. It may be because I have been rubbing it/pushing on it, I don t know. I also noticed that I have another one that is on the same arm (smaller in size) on the bottom area of my armpit. I am 25 years old, and am wondering if anybody could shed some light on the matter. Thank you.

donot rub or try to diagnose the problem. your swelling needs local examination by doctor. localised temperature consistancy mobility tenderness etc are to be seen. need not do any research , leave it to doctor. it is a lump can be cyst, lymph gland , or any tumour. after diagnosis iether to be medicaly treated or surgically excised and removed with biopsy.
