A wart?

Looks like a wart - but never be too careful pop along to your GP.

However, a mate (the ubiquitous one) had a similar thing and when to the GP - short story was he ended up having his arm cut off - fair enough GP had said it was armless.:blush:
 
You've had it Reiver. I've seen your bike and I don't want it though.

Looks infected whatever it is, my guess is some kind of tropical burrowing thing you've picked up when you lent on a banana in Aldi and it will soon hatch and devour the rest of the arm.

Happy to give my medical opinion, no need to thank me.

Are we sure that's his elbow? Looks more like a scrotum to me.

Old enough to know better, too old to care!
There's an infection of some kind there, possibly a bursitis (infection of a fluid filled sac over the tip of the elbow). You don't wand to mess about with infections around joints. See your doctor, antibiotics may be necessary.

Doesn't look like the tip of the elbow. I have bursitis there, I and a specialist who looked at it can feel a little pea rolling around which is a bit icky! Can't rest on elbow but not too much of a bother. Apparently they can be a pain if don't resolve. Common in tumbling cyclists who bang elbow... As I did :whistle:
