It is not painful to the touch. It is not pulsatile. I am sending 2 pics with a circle to show location. It is red because i keep on touching it, otherwise it's the normal skin colour. Please advice and thanks
Brief Answer:
?Lipoma
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Even though it is less conspicuous however it looks like a benign tumor of fatty tissue known as lipoma. It doesn't need to be addressed. However it would be better to get examined by a surgeon to confirm the diagnosis and possible surgical removal if it is hurting you a lot.
Hope your query is being answered.
Wishing you best of your health.
