3 days ago I woke up and my elbow was sore when i would bend it... later that day I noticed there was some sort of lump inside of it when i would push down. The next morning i woke up and the lump was bigger and a little red bump was showing on the outside of my skin, kind of looks like a mosquito bite but bigger. I figured a spider bit me and thought nothing of it. Later that day there was a big purple circle around the lump and my arm was really sore. Then the next day I noticed it was all swollen and my arm from my elbow down was starting to fall asleep a lot. Theres a lot of juicy type stuff aorund the lump on the inside that i can feel when i move it around. What do you think this is? I figure if it gets worse tomorrow I will go get it looked at but I thought I would get your opinion.
Also I never injured it, I just woke up one morning that way.

Time to go to the doctor dude, this is nothing to play around with. Don't know if it's a spider bite, an acute infection, or what. But you don't need to play around with this......

No, cancer is only a remote possibility for something that increases in size so rapidly. Nevertheless, the lesion should be examined.
With the numbness, however, it seems that the swelling is compressing a nerve, and you should see someone promptly.
