I have a small pea size lump on my elbow under the skin. It is hard and I can move it a little. It shows when I bend my elbow. It is painful without touching it but even more so when it is touched. There is no broken skin and I did not hurt my elbow. It has been like this for about 2 weeks. What kind of a dr should I see and what is it and what can be done to stop the pain?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like neurofibroma or lipoma.  You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that lump.  It will give you exact idea regarding cause. Then you should consult general surgeon and take treatment accordingly.  Most of the soft tissue tumor needs surgical excision only.  Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
