WWYD Lump on my arm/elbow, not sure if new

Recently I've been applying a cream for dry skin and I noticed a bony lump sticking out almost on the end of one of my arm bones. It's only on one side, definitely. It feels like bone but seems to stick out.

Obviously I'm thinking to get it checked out but I'd feel really silly if that was just my arm bone and it's weirdly shaped. Also, I'm having treatment for fatigue (which they have found a cause for) but the last thing I need is for me to be considered a "worrier" because I absolutely need to be taken seriously on other occasions.

As I don't have any other symptoms (pain/swelling/weight loss) should I just leave it? WWYD?

Sorry, I forgot to say that as strange as it seems, I just don't remember if my arm was always this way! No idea!

Get it checked out. They won't think you are a 'worrier' and even if they did, they still have to take your concerns seriously
