What is this on DH's elbow?

[Hepzibar]

He hadn't even noticed it! Is quite soft and definitely not hurting or painful

cyst? Which is to say, a minor localised infection.

Should have googled first. Bursitis!

Yes it’s an olecranon bursitis. Unless it’s hot it’s not infected. It will normally subside by itself but may need aspirating by GP. Try to get your DH to take anti-inflammatories unless he’s allergic to them or asthmatic, of course.

Thanks for the replies. We were just a bit shocked when we saw it this evening. DH had his own version of why it was happening to him but I'll spare you The lurid details

Maybe he's been bitten by a spider, and there are lots of baby spiders inside

Are you a sporner? You can watch bursitis draining on YouTube...

Bursitis - dh had it, and needed antibiotics - they didn’t want to drain it because it was better for the fluid to reabsorb gradually, then there would be less chance of it reforming.

Oh my am definitely a sporner. Will check it out and show DH
