What Does Small Lump On Leg Which Is Increasing In Size Indicate?

Hi, I have a small lump on the lower left leg, it's about the size of a dime. I've had it for many years and I have a doctor look at it years ago, she said it was nothing. I'm concerned, because it is now pulsing or tingling and seems to have gotten a little bigger. It does not hurt. What could it be?

Hello,

The lump can be anything but the most likely ones are lipoma and neurofibroma. It is best to get evaluated by a surgeon so that he can perform a FNAC from the swelling to reveal the diagnosis.
