Just let us know is it soft or hard. Is it moving or fixed. Surgical removal depends on type of lump and whether its causing any pain. Upload a picture.

Hello Dear,
First of all where exactly do you have the lump? In your arm or leg? Because the knee is in the leg and elbow is in arms. Also please describe the nature of the lump.

Hello There.
I can understand your concern. but i do not understand if this is near the hand or near the knee.
also you have not given any details of the lump. is it hard or soft.
you could have uploaded a picture of it.
Kindly consult a general surgeon in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
