I am a 50 yr. old male and have a bruised large lump beside my caf on left side of leg,very painful and difficult walking. Should I be concerned or see a Dr.? I had this in other leg prior before and it went away after a few weeks. My bruise is visible also lump.
Hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. Based from your description, it could be a cyst (a sebaceous or a gelatinous type), a fibrous or a lipoma. These lesions can occur anywhere in the body and have the tendency to recur. It could also be a tumor which will need a tissue biopsy for definitive diagnosis. Imaging such as x-ray and/or MRI may also be suggested. Management (medical and surgical) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
