What Causes A Hard Movable Lump Above The Elbow?

I have two questions: 1. If I had an episiotomy over 25 years ago and where the incision ended is right at the entrance to my anas .... there has always been some extra skin there. It has always bothered me, but I m wondering if it would be easily removed. If I pinch it there isn t any feeling there. 2. I have a hard moveable lump just above my elbow and it has grown a little in the last month.... however, I ve had it there for many years. What could it be?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You should go for examination for episiotomy skin tag or other mass. Your elbow mass can be lipoma, neurofibroma or dermatofibroma or some other tumour. You should go for FNAC or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
