Painful Fatty Deposits On Left Elbow. Arm Feels Bruised. Lumps Around It. Which Doctor Should I Consult?
I have painful fatty deposits on my left elbow, the past few days, my arm near the elbow feels bruised and is sensitive to the touch. I have had a few removed over the years cause they hurt and bruised, but this time, I feel sore and there are about 15 lumps all around my elbow.
Should i be concerned? What kind of a doctor should i consult?
More than one specialist will have to be consulted... The first one will be a General Surgeon – who will examine / BIOPSY of a lesion is a must. Depending on the biopsy report, he will be best placed to advise on the next step.
Take care Wishing speedy recovery God bless Good luck
