I have two lumps on my left leg they are soft to the touch and have been there for almost a year... recently though they began swelling a bit more. both are below my knee and the one closer to my foot is bigger.. i am sixteen years old.. is this something i should be concerned about
Hello! Thank you for the query. Most likely you have noticed varicose veins on your leg. Due to veins enlargement soft lumps appear. They can be more visible when standing and less when lying down. Usually small varicose veins do not need medical attention, however sometimes veins thrombosis can appear. That is why it is good to have other veins checked. To do that please consult your doctor and ask about Doppler's veins ultrasound. Hope this will help. Regards.
