What Is The Treatment For A Hard Lump On The Legs?
I have a hard bump on my leg. It s pretty small but I m worried that there might be somthing in my leg. The skin does have a scratch or scab. When my leg is relaxed you can t feel it but when I flex it or put weight on it you can feel it. And when I walk I can feel it pushing on the skin

hi.
based from your description, it could possibly be a cyst (sebaceous or keratinous type), a fibroma (fibrous tissue formation) or a lipoma (a fatty tissue deposit). other tumor lesions must also be ruled-out. an x-ray or mri may also be recommended for further evaluation. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
