Can itchy lump on calf be lipoma
Patient: Not sure if its lipoma or what ..but I feel lumps in open places right around where my muscles are and I found one right on my right calf that is itching like crazy. It s inside right on the middle of my calf. It is not externally visible and there s no redness. deposit cyst, lipoma, or some other kind of cyst? Or what? Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,Lump on the calf could be due to cyst, lipoma or muscle swelling etc,However, itching is not associated with any of the above mentioned swellings.Itching is usually associated with allergic condition or any skin condition.A clinical assessment of the swelling is required.Imaging of the swelling is also required to assess the site and origin of the swelling.Aspiration cytology is the investigation which will determine the site and origin of the swelling.Thus, consult your primary health care provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal
