immediate evaluation is needed to exclude malignicy

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

A photo of the lump is needed ti assist you more specifically.

A bleeding lump is to be further evaluated through biopsy after physical examination depending of course on lump size.

So, I highly recommend to go to ER for immediate evaluation.

Hope it was of help!
