How To Treat A Lump On The Front Part Of The Right Leg?
I have a lump on front lower part of right leg. It's about the size of a quarter. I've noticed it a long time ago put never payed attention to it because it was painless. But recently got some pain near that area while walking. I was wondering what it can be and if i should be worried?

Hello! Welcome to HCM.
This swelling can be a lipoma or sebaceous cyst..
Both are benign lumps.
In my clinic, many patients with similar complaints come, to whom after clinical examination, I advise FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology if in doubt clinically.
Excision biosy is usually done i.e. swelling is removed under local anaesthesia & sent for histopathological examination.
Hope this information is useful.
Wish you healthy life.
Thanks.
