Suggest Treatment For A Lump In The Legs
good day , Two weeks ago i found out a lump in the size of pea in the lower part of my leg in the area between my knee and foot on the side part , it is colorless and painless unless i push it , then it started to pain a little bit , it has an extension just a few centimeters , i was wondering what kind of lump ? iam not a person who does sport but iam not a fat person , a thin man , and recently i did a few jogging just for a few minutes , then i started to feel some pains in the bones of my legs between my knee and foot due to sudden running that my body was not used on and a while later i discovered this lump so what could this be ??? can it be a cancer but the area is not a common place for cancer i would be very appreciative to you sir if you could help me ? thank you

hello,
thank you for consulting. swelling present only for 15 days and not before and it is a size of pea nut. dont worry.
swelling of small duration will be inflammatory in origin its very difficult to tell the diagnosis without examining you but still it can be a lipoma or a bursa or a chronic abscess.none of the condition is life threatening so dont worry.if it continue to hurt get it examined by surgeon.
thank you.

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
it might be folliculitis or lipoma, need to be examined to confirm.
Hope this helps.
Take care
