I just noticed I have a small pea-size thing under the skin on the outer part of my arm just under my elbow. When I looked at it in the mirror, it appears to be black under the skin. It is tender, thats how I first realized it was there. I have no idea how long it has been there.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Clinic. You seem to have Dysplasia Atypical nevus mole(as the lump is black) with high chances of Melanoma tic changes, as it recently was found due to tenderness in it. I would suggest you to consult Dermatologist/ or Surgeon for Second Opinion after which, who would do the FNAC Biopsy to rule out the benign or the malignant melanoma in this lump or would rule out other causes of such a lump on the outer side of your elbow. You should not worry till the HPR report of the Biopsy confirms the exact nature of the lump. Hope this would help you to plan your treatment with your doctor and resolve this problem at the earliest.
