What is the treatment for a lump in the elbow?
Patient: I have had a lump on the tip of my elbow for some time, no pain unless I put pressure on it, last night I was rolling over in bed putting alot of weight on the tip of the elbow and it felt like this lump exploded, very very bad pain, now it is really sore to touch. What could this be? Doctor: hi.it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or keratinous type) or an inflammatory reaction. if the pain is persistent and progressive and the wound is not improving/resolving, i suggest you consult with your physician for physical examination. management would be directed accordingly.hope this helps.good day!!~dr.kaye
