Armrest leather is starting to bubble

The adhesive underneath the leather (or maybe it's vinyl) is starting to come loose. The spot is exactly where my elbow rests when I'm driving, so im guessing skin oils and friction over time is the cause. I can use my fingernail to carefully pull the layer to evenly stretch over the area but over time it just gets stretched to the side again. Anyone else having this issue? Wondering if it's to be expected or if this is poor quality.

Looked up remedies online and suggestions range from sanding it down, repaint, injecting adhesive with a needle, etc. Nothing sticks out as a reliable repair method. Lmk if you have a solution that works! TIA
