A member asked:

Just found a small lump in the crease of my elbow, it's tender to touch and i'm freaking out and can't stop feeling it what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get informed: This is likely a simple lymph node that became inflamed while it began to work on serum debris from our forearm.The stimulus could be as simple as bug bites or a mild skin infection. This is much more likely at your age than something horrible. A visit with your doc could clear up the issue.
