Ive had a lump on the side of my leg for some time now, I went to see the doctor about it, and was told its just a skin growth thing, no harm. A while ago it started to smell, and so recently, I belive last week, I squeezed it and a brown cheese-like texture shot out, and it smells...What could this be? Im 19, 154 lbs, and in great health and physical shape. No major medical problems either.
Hi. This may be epidermal cyst or a sebaceous cyst which forms when the secretions of the glands become blocked in the skin. It is not harmful till due to some reason it becomes infected. Treatment is full excision of the cyst. Squeezing out may lead to partial treatment. It may grow slowly may become prominent again after few months. Next time if it becomes prominent, please show it to any surgeon as it is easier to take it out completely when it is prominent. No active treatment is required now until unless there is sign of infection like pain, redness, or local rise of temperature.
