I've noticed a small lump on the inside of my right arm near the elbow. It's kind of weird because it doesn't hurt when I touch it. Should I be concerned or is this something normal? What could this be?

A small, painless lump on the inside of your right arm near the elbow could be a benign growth, such as a lipoma, cyst, or ganglion, but it's essential to consult a doctor, preferably a general surgeon

I went trekking a couple of months ago and ended up getting bitten by a leech. It was attached for just a few minutes and had barely started to suck blood. Now, the wound's healed but there's this tiny bump left that sometimes gets really itchy. Is there anything I can do to deal with this?

Its likely that the bump is a residual scar or a reaction to the leech bite. Applying a soothing cream like hydrocortisone or a natural remedy like aloe vera gel may help with the itching. If it persists or causes discomfort, a dermatologist can offer further advice.
