Lumps Under Skin, Fluid Filled. Why Are They Getting Larger?
Hello, I have about four soft to the touch lumps under the skin on both shins that I have had for many years. When I push them they feel like fluid. The lumps have gotten larger recently, and are much more noticeable, maybe the size of dimes, one or two are a little larger. I was hoping for a answer to what they may be and why they have gotten larger and more noticeable? Thank you.

Hi. You did nt mention any symptoms, so i hope they are asymptomatic. Seems like you have varices which are dilated veins. I would advice you to undergo doppler study of both legs which would confirm it or rule it out
