Suggest Treatment For A Hard Lump On Shin
I have a hard, lentil size movable bump on my shin that I noticed a few days ago. It moves around in a circle as if there is a string tied to the bottom of it connecting it to my shin and also feels like it is in between the skin and the bone. It does not feel like a cyst (I just had a cyst removed from my scalp a few weeks ago) and it does not hurt.

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Thanks for a nice history of a freely mobile lump in between the bone and the skin on the shin.
This is classical of a lipoma and you may not have to worry about it unless it enlarges, have pain or any other problem.
You should have consulted the Surgeon about this too as you have already undergone a surgery of the cyst of the scalp.
