Done Ankle Surgery. Lump Under Skin On Leg. Movable, Not Red Or Warm. Help
i had ankle surgery first week of feb, today i noticed a pea size lump under my skin about mid shin, near the bone, on the same leg as my surgery. It is not red, warm or visible with the eye but i felt it when just rubbing my legs. It feels like it slightly moves under the skin. I marked it a few hours ago and it hasnt moved
Good morning. As per the available information swelling under the skin which is movable not inflammed non tender could be lipoma which is a lipid/fat accumulation under skin. it seems no way connected to surgery. it doesnot require any specific treatment. if any changes like increase in size, painful, any other changes u need to consult otherwise u need not worry. thank u
