I have multiple skin lumps on the elbow. What could they be?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have had these multiple skin lumps on the very tip of my elbow for a couple of years now. I have attached the photos for your reference. They look like a wart but are clustered together. Every medication I have used on them has done absolutely nothing. Recently, they have begun to grow and become sensitive. My elbow feels tender right above them. What could they be? I am currently on 75 milligrams Zoloft, 50 milligrams Seroquel and 1 milligrams Ativan (only when required).

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

These might be the lesion of sarcoidosis, lupus vulgaris or nodular xanthoma (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The only histopathological examination could confirm the diagnosis, so I would suggest you go for the one. A punch biopsy is the most preferred technique for taking the sample and is relatively painless.

Thank you for consulting me.

You can always reach me at icliniq.com.
