hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general or an orthopedic surgeon, for medical and physical examination. if the lesion is persistent and progressive in size, it is best if it is evaluated clinically. an initial x-ray and MRI will be of great help if it is confirmed that a mass/lesion is present. tissue diagnosis thru a biopsy may also be suggested. management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
