Lump on shin?I have a small hard lump on my left shin. It is not visible but you can feel it when you rub your hand up and down the shin bone. It does not hurt when pressure is applied. I have just noticed it in the past few months and it hasnt gone away. Could you please tell me what this could be and who I should see?
Thank you for asking Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. You have mentioned the lump in the region of shin which is quite small and does not hurt even when pressure is applied ... It can be Lipoma, a collection of fatty tissue which are usually painless and Benign (Non-Dangerous)Sebaceous Cyst is another such swelling, but it has some central spot or pore in most of the cases In Case, you had some traumatic injury to this region of the body thenHaematomas which with time become calcified and hard present like thisGanglion is another condition which present as hard lump under skin...your second concern was who you should see you should visit your physician (GP) or better you can consult some General Surgeon for evaluation, work up and treatment Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything is not clear. Thanks.
