Lump on inside above elbow

[needderm]

I have been to the Derm today with a lump an inch above the bend in my right arm.
I'd had a mole removed from breast which was benign, It is healing nicely.
Today, however, I went back about this lump. She called it a tumor but called it a more technical term too. I cannot remember for the life of me. She called it one thing then when I told her it hurts she said it could be another version of the same type of tumor.
I just cannot remember what she called it.
I go in for a biopsy on Monday next week. Can anyone tell me what it is called? If I saw the word I know I'd probably remember if it is that.

I have a punch biopsy on Monday. When she asked if it hurts I told her yes. She said it could be a different type of the first tumor she called it. She told me"Tumor"
I lived by the swimming pool from age 12-19 and never used sunscreen. I'm paying the price now with looking old really fast. The worst skin in the world.
Lactic Acid Cream for my cracked legs and feet with craters and my old lady, dried and leathery skin on my arm, This product is really a miracle worker. I've looked all my life for THE solution. I am soft all over now. Pink feet even!

Hello,
It can be due to lipoma skin which is a benign fatty tumor. The other possibility is of a cyst or some other benign skin growth. To confirm the diagnosis, you need to get an evaluation done by a dermatologist and get a biopsy skin done.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
