Suggest Treatment For Bump On The Lower Legs
I have had previous cancer surgeries, 1994 colon surgery,1995 another colon surgery. I had a left breast surgery about four years ago. On july 16,2016 I found a had bump on my left lower leg. I may have hit my leg some how. I thought I would wait for about a month and if the bump had not gone down by then , I would see my Dr. I guess I am asking with my history should I wait that ling?

Hello. Waiting a month to get this checked out is fine. Even if by chance the bump is a basal or a squamous cell carcinoma, waiting a month to get it checked and biopsied wouldn't harm your health
