I have a lump on my back shoulder blade that I got an incision on, but was to deep for the doctor to know what it was. No pain and it has grown a little over 9mos. No puss came out when the incision was done, and had like a light red to light purple color to it. What could this be?
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
As the lump is a slow growing one, it seems to be benign as per your history. If I were your treating physician, I would have referred you to a qualified general surgeon to deal with the problem, who after a clinical examination and some routine investigations might go for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) followed by an excisional biopsy depending on the situation as judged by him. This would confirm the diagnosis and also would help in further definitive treatment if need be.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
