What Could Be The Extra Bone Extending From Underarm Towards Elbow?

I've just noticed what appears to be an extra bone extending from my daughters underarm to about halfway down towards her elbow. She is five. She says she's not in pain, but this is definitely new it seems. It's hard like a bone, about the width of your thumb. There also seem to be "frogs" in her arm. Any suggestions? She is about 36 lbs. No previous health problems.

HI
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I came to know that your daughter is suffering from probably exostosis. It is a benign condition not requiring treatment except for cosmetic purpose but you can get her investigated by x ray and MRI to rule out other conditions. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
