I noticed a small lump above my left ankle , outside shin area. Have starred taking 1-2 mile walks recently and wore flip flops last time (my bad). It s about the size of a nickel. What could this be? Tender when I walk and flex my foot. Was concerned ......blood clot or something as serious.
Hello, Thanks for the query, Probably you are suffering from lipoma. Your description matches with it. It is a benign collection of fat. Dont worry it is not a serious thing.
