Suggest treatment for a painless lump on the leg
Patient: I have a spot on my side that looks somewhat like a hickey. I ve had it for about 4 months now. It s about 2 inches long and about an inch wide. It doesn t hurt or itch. I have just noticed, just showed up, a spot on my leg. It s only like an inch long and very thin. What could thus be? Thanks! Doctor: Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!   Well, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a painless lump on the leg, I would come up with three possibilities, these include: 1.     a lipoma or benign fatty tumor or neurofibroma2.     The second possibility is of a benign cyst, ganglion or bursa     3.     The last possibility is of some normal / developmental nodule like muscular nodule or just a feeling for you!     Overall, it is benign and not to worry about this but you could go for FNAC test for confirmation if still worried!Hope this answers your question.
