What Could Soft, Squishy Lump On Right Ankle Be?
Hi, my name is Keri. Just today I noticed a soft, squishy lump just to the front of my right ankle. It does not hurt and no difference in skin color. I do get puffy ankles on occasion from water retention. I am a fairly healthy person. Thank you - Keri

hello,
welcome to HCM,
i appreciate your concern.
there are two possibilities either it is from skin like lipoma,or from the synovial tissue overlying the tendon.
dont worry,both are benign.
consult a surgeon and go for simple excision.
hope this is helpful.
regards.
