Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump On Lower Leg
Needs MRI scan and FNAC.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The hard lump which has appeared on the shin can be due to a sebaceous cyst, a lipoma or a benign tumor like osteoma.
For the confirmation of diagnosis, you need to get this lump examined from your family doctor and get a MRI scan for any soft tissue growth and a FNAB (fine needle aspiration biopsy) done.
FNAB is aspiration of the material of the lump which is done by a fine gauge needle (22 or 25 gauge) and a syringe. Till then, you can apply warm compresses on the lump.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
