Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and without photographs.
Read the history and understood your concerns.
Please give some additional information:
Since when have you got this growth?
Does it bleed easily?
Size and shape, surface- smooth or irregular?
Your age and gender please.
Any investigations like FNAC or biopsy?
Please post clear and focused photographs as it help sometimes for on-the-spot-diagnosis- of course to be confirmed by biopsy alone.
If the lesion is more than 3 weeks, it is always the best policy to get an examination and clinical evaluation by a Specialist and a biopsy to confirm whether this is benign or malignant growth.
Secondly a proper surgery helps to get rid of the mass which is not a normal part of the body.
Please give details and post actual photographs.
