Noticed a lump on the foot near the ankle
Patient: I have noticed that my 20 month old daughter has developed a lump on the top of her foot near her ankle.  When I first notice it I thought it may me an insect bite but on feeling it, it feels like bone.  She is not in discomfort, she is walking fine and it doesn't appear to hurt when touched firmly. Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.It could be bone exostosis and this is benign condition which doesnt require treatment in most cases unless there is significant pain. also it could be some other subcutaneous lesions such as fibroma or lipola and in this case it can be surgically managed. Wish you good health. Regards
