Should I Be Concerned About A Lump In My Leg?

I am 42, 5 ft 6 , 123 lbs and in very good health. Recently I noticed a bump/lump on the inside of my left leg about 2 inches above the ankle. At first it felt like a bruise, then it did bruise. The coloring is gone but the lump is still there. Should I be concerned?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
If you have any history of trauma then it can be hematoma. It will absorbed by itself no need to worry for that.
If you don't have trauma then you need to investigate. Go for biopsy of that lump. It will give exact idea regarding lump. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
