I'm 17 and for the last month or so I have had a slowly growing lump right below the skin on my inner elbow. It restricts my arm's movement as a whole and it's recentely turned a dark-ish red color and developed what kind of looks like a scaly skin spot on it. It's currently about 1 1/2 inches thick and when I first noticed it, it was probably about 3 cm thick. It protrudes from my arm about half an inch or so. It seems kind of iregularly shaped -it's not a perfect circle, but rather kind of lumpy and it's been getting steadily harder than it was to start. Any ideas on what it could be? Should I be worried?
Thanks ^-^

Won't you prefer visiting a doctor for a professional diagnosis instead of accepting advice from a bunch of strangers without medical licenses?

I would certainly get it looked at and removed.
Sounds like a Hemangioma
If it restricts movement, get it out of there before it gets even larger

Doctor! You should go to a doctor. You have a strange thing growing on your arm, of course you should be worried.

You should definitely see a doctor. I'd be a bit worried.

It could be a lipoma or a cyst or a hemangioma, but you need to go to the MD, okay!
