Hi This morning i noticed my elbow being sore. I rubbed and felt a small bump. I then looked at the bump and found it to look like a zit! I had a yellow spot on it. I squeezed it and it popped out like a zit. Now the bump is still there but really not as sore.
Could this be a zit!? I do have a bad acne problem but I don't think they could come on elbows! I don't have any other of these types of bumbs anywhere, and never have in spots like this.
Could it be something else?

thanks everyone :)
I'm going to the doctor tomarrow (for a check up on other problem..lol) and thought if someone thought it was bad, i'd point that out

I have the same thing. But I didn't pop it so it just stayed there. I'm planning to visit a dermatologist soon.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

It's probably a zit. They can just pop up one at a time or you rubbed on something that irritated your skin.

It may have been a clogged hair follicle. That happens, then the hair just grows out after you squeeze the thing out. It'll prob go away on its own
