A member asked:

I have a lump just above my elbow. it is pea sized and is quite soft. it isn't painful unless i apply pressure to it. it literally feel like a pea.

Lump: This may be a small,benign fatty tissue growth(lipoma) or a simple inclusion cyst. It would have to be examined by a physician for diagnosis. Perhaps the advice would be to leave it alone after the assessment.
