What Is The Treatment For Pea Sized Lump On The Shin?
I've just found a pea sized lump under the skin on my shin bone, just below the knee. It moves/ slips around under the skin when I touch it about a inch. Going to doctors asap but just wondered what you thought? I'm 20, female and have no history of lumps before.

HI,Dear,Thanks for the query to HCM.
I understood your concerns about the shin lump.
In my opinion its -Sebaceous Cyst ? or could be Lipoma.
Treatment-
a-Take opinion from the ER Surgeon
b-He would do Surgical Excision and Biopsy to rule out any fear of cancer that
worries you .
Hope this would help you to plan the treatment with Your family doctor.
Wishing you early recovery.
You are always Wellocome for further query to HCM in this regard.
Have a Good Day...!!
