Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Shin
Hi, I have a large red mark on my right shin. It is very hard to touch and seems to contain sine sort of material that is semi-moveable. I have had something similar previously and it seems to gradually go down over a long period. I don t know if it is related but I have found a number of smaller, uncoloured lumps around my body, such as above my lip, on my arms and in my fingers. Thank you for your help!

Hi
Welcome to hcm
Large hard mark on shin must be keloid which means hyperreaction of skin during healing if wound that may be minor scrach. Keloid sometimes remains as it is or decrease gradually. Inj kenacort intralesionally decreases size of keloid. Other lumps that you have described must be lipomas/fat lumps which does not require any treatment unless they are rapidly increasing or cosmatically looking bad.
Regards
