i have a lump on my shin. it has been there for about 3 weeks and seems to be getting slightly bigger. it is an irregular shape and is about 1 x 2 inches. it is red but not a fierce red. it is painful but not bad enough to take painkillers. hurts to touch it or putting on boots etc. no sure if i should be worried about it or not? I dont remember bumping it or anything.

Hello Thanks for your query Based on your query The lump is quite large and needs to be examined to rule out soft tissue or bony lesions. Get a Fine needle aspiration cytology done to know the nature of the lesion. Since it is increasing in size, do get it examined Regards
