Have Painful And Hard Lump On Hips. Could It Be Cancer? Cyst?
Hi I'm wondering if I need to be worried my significant other has a bruised looking raised lump about the size of a fifty cent piece width wise on both sides of his hips. It is hard and the one broke open with a small opening in the middle of it and it's very painful. Could it be cancer or a cyst or what may cause it!? Thank you
