Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. From the history it seems to be an olecranal bursa, a benign condition which occurs due to chronic pressure and friction on the elbow. If I were your doctor, I would advise you not to exert any pressure on the lesion. If it increases or gives rise to increasing symptoms, you have to consult a general surgeon or an orthopedic surgeon for a surgical removal of the same after a clinical examination and necessary investigations. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
