Hi. I am a 20 year old woman (21 in a week). I have a small lump on the right side of my waist that appears ever since I was in 9th grade. It varies from the left or right side right by my hips. I am very skinny, and do not eat properly, but I eat a lot of junk food. This lump seems to be more prominent when I drink a lot of coffee. Last night I drank alcohol, and through the course of the day, the swelling and pain have both increased. Should I be worried?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma.  You should go for examination and if needed go for biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
