General Surgeon, Dr. M Y Shareef's Response

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Even though you have got this lump for quite some time, I would advise you to get it physically examined either by your family physician or a general surgeon for a definitive diagnosis and for preventing further complications if any. It might not be possible to opine on this lump over the net without a clinical examination and related investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
