Sore red spot on elbow

Take the hint. Do yourself a favor and have a doctor look at this. If I'm picking up what Rip is putting down, sooner is better than later.

I've always been terrible at reading subtlety. I'll take that advice under advisement.

Look, you bonehead, you don't know what it is, and I don't know what it is. But we both know it is a growth of some sort. You know, like a neoplasm. A tumor-like object that wasn't there before. That's not supposed to be there. Do I impress you as the kind of guy that sends people to the ER when they have a cold? Get the goddamn thing checked tomorrow.

See, now there's a response without any subtlety. Message received and understood.

Thanks.

Hey this looks like fun, my turn!

I’ve got a lump that protrudes from the muscle near my left elbow when doing weighted dips, any ideas 😄

For all those of you waiting with bated breath, doctor says it's just a cyst, probably formed after I bumped my elbow at some point. Harmless and no treatment unless it gets too big or painful and I want it surgically removed.

We know it's a cyst. What kind of cyst? Did he aspirate it and look at the fluid?

Epidermoid.
No, palpated it pretty good but didn't stick a needle in it and nothing came out during the palpation.

Shit, if I had a cyst that size on my elbow, I'd INSIST it be drained, benign or not. You are weird, mister.
