Small(1inch) growth on lower left
Hi doctor
I have small growth on lower left leg( 4 inch below knee) from last 2 year. I noticed it just before 2 year so I am not sure if it is before 2 year also. There is no further increase since 2 year and no pain. It feel like feel rubbery in touch.
I read on internet about cancerous lumps. Very very scared since then.
Could this be cancerous if present from so long time??
I have many of blood tests in last 2 year due to different issue but all were normal.
Please guide. I am scared... Attached two image.one from two year back and one is current.
Please review image.
As per your history, if the growth in not increasing in size and as the picture you have attached, it seems to be a benign lesion. It can be a case of epidermal cyst.
Rarely it can be a cancerous lump.
But the treatment is surgical excision only if you want to get rid of it. There's is no medicine to dissolve the swelling.
Next Steps
Kindly consult a General Surgeon for further management
