Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eczema in and on the elbow often appears as an itchy, uncomfortable rash. Doctors refer to eczema inside the elbow as flexural eczema since it occurs inside the elbow curve or other joints. Eczema is a medical term for skin conditions that cause itchy, irritated, and discolored skin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Atopic dermatitis can cause a very itchy rash. Atopic dermatitis most often occurs where the skin flexes-inside the elbows, behind the knees and in front of the neck.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hives: Also called urticaria, hives cause raised, red, itchy skin welts. You may get hives if you have an allergic reaction to airborne allergens or insect stings. Extreme temperature changes and certain bacterial infections can also bring on hives.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bumps can appear on the elbow for many reasons, such as skin irritation, arthritis, eczema, or an injury. They range in size from small to large, may be hard or soft, and may or may not be itchy or inflamed. However, if left untreated, underlying medical conditions such as arthritis can cause permanent tissue damage.
