General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

From the duration of the lumps, it seems that they are benign lesions which could be more of a cosmetic importance due to their unwanted presence in these locations (say lipoma for example). However, exact nature of the lesion could only be known by clinical examination and related investigations like a histo-pathology of the biopsied lesion.

Therefore, I would suggest you to consult a general surgeon in your area for proper diagnosis and further management. Till that you could go for some anti- inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief of pain 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.
