Does Growing Lump With No Bruising On Leg Require Medical Attention?
I noticed a small lump on my lower leg, an inch or so to right of my shin in the inside of my leg about a week ago. No bruise, no color that I can see. There is no 'head' on it so I don't think it's a skin infection, etc. It has gotten a little bigger, you can see it with the naked eye now. Should I get this checked, or wait another week or so?

Shin of tibia is a notorious site for the development of lump or surgery. IT is better to consult a Surgeon to see why this has developed , to find out whether this is lipoma or a sebaceous cyst. IT is better to get this removed of it is not a Hematoma. Occasionally muscle can tear through the fascia. This can be diagnosed by a Doctor only as their is no Bruise ..
So see a Doctor .
