Hi my son has a small lump on his skin just by his elbow he s had it for a while now but I just thought it would go away as he didn t complain of it hurting in any way but have seen some parents who sy there little one had it and they got antibiotics I m now just worrying that it may be something I should have gotten check could you possible give me any advice please thanks
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if the lesion is sudden onset or recently developed then it could be infection or may be some kind of injury and if it is chronic one then it could be lipoma, all of these needs clinical observation and testing needed, better to see surgeon, but this nothing to worry, hope this information helps
