What Causes Hard Lump On Back Of Leg?

Hello,

I have a small hard lump under the skin on the back of my lower leg on my calf muscle it doesn't protrude but is sore. I have beeen excercising recently and thought it may be due to this. At the beginning of the week the area that is hard seemed bigger than it is now I have no idea what this could be.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some soft tissue tumour like lipoma, neurofibroma, dermatofibroma or some other mass due to trauma. You should go for examination and if needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
