Dermatology? On this board?
So the other day I noticed a small red spot on the medial aspect of my elbow. I had done a fairly heavy (for me) press workout earlier in the day but didn't notice any unusual discomfort during the sets or anytime else in my workout, which included squats and LTEs. It doesn't really hurt at all, just some minor pain when I touch it and sort of a stretchy feeling in the area during certain arm movements. Last night I did two sets of ten pullups, also without pain. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Dermatology? On this board?
Yes. Derm case.
OK, so I've looked around and haven't been able to find a dermatological explanation (or lifting related either, for that matter, other than bursa related?) of the bump that made any sense. Can anyone put a name to this? Rip, my apologies ahead of time and just let me know and I won't mention it again on the boards.
Here's a picture I took today from a different angle:

What was the dermatology diagnosis? At the dermatologist's office?
First, thanks for not just shutting down my thread.
Second, I'm pretty sure you would not ask those questions without knowing the answers. :-) Let me answer this way. Since I started lifting four and half years ago, I've torn two adductors and gave my back a significant tweak (the second tear being directly related to form issues caused by the back tweak). I didn't go to the doctor for any of those injuries so I certainly wouldn't go for such a trivial appearing thing like this. What I did for those previous injuries was to post here and I received very useful advice (thanks again to Will Morris especially on the back tweak). I posted here about the bump in the hope that, if it is indeed lifting related, someone here has experienced it already and would be able to explain it. I searched the internet but didn't find anything that conclusively matched the appearance of this bump. This site is just my go-to resource for all things gym and health related, at least as a starting point.
