Suggest Cure For Lump On My Lower Leg

I have a lump on my lower outside leg about 5 inches above my ankle. It has always been there, and occasionally hurts. It is soft to the touch and squishy. I have recently discovered I have another one similar to the first but on the opposite leg, in the same spot. I was wondering what this could be.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

based from your description, it could be a lipoma (fatty deposit), fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or a cystic formation (sebaceous or keratinous type). these lesions occur anywhere in our body and has the tendency to recur. other lesion types must also be ruled-out. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation and if the lesion is starting to bother you. diagnostics and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
