General Surgeon,  's  Response

Hi,thanks for the query to HCM.
Dear,Based on the facts of your report,in the background of abnormal cells treatment 5 yrs back, and with a recurring painful calf lump in right leg,You seem to suffer from -chronic infected Venous Lump ulcer.A colour doppler study would fix the cause of it.
Treat-
Rule out diabetes by Fasting/and Post-meal Blood Sugar studies
Contact dermatologist and treat it with antibiotics / antipyretics/ and anti-inflammatory,with a long term followup.
If no relief Check with Color doppler and take treatment from Vasular Surgeon,for the resistant calf lump with pain.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment in your case.

Good Day!!
