I am a 26 year old female...so for a few weeks, I've had a rash/mini pimples on the inner part of my elbow on my left arm. Now, there's a small lump that has formed there under the skin. It's slightly tender to the touch, and it's hard. I've been doing a lot of lifting with that arm, and every once in awhile I feel a twinge of pain in that same arm. What really scares me is that I have a history of lymphoma...are there even lymphnodes in that area? I'm going to see a doctor regardless of what answers I get on here, but I was just curious to see if anyone else has experienced this problem and what the outcome was...thanks!

good luck
